It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Even though Jackson wasn't exactly dressed for Santa, we couldn't resist getting it taken care of the day before Thanksgiving when we were shopping at Sunvalley.  There was no line!



He only almost cried and then was fine.  And Cinnabon afterwards never hurts!

Yes, we're alive.

Just MIA.  We just got back from Yosemite.  So lovely.  Despite the rain, hail, and freezing cold, we had a great time!  Jackson had so much fun and got to see many deer and other animals.  The Rangers at the Visitor Center loved him.  We did a ton of walks, including Yosemite Falls, Mirror Lake.  We ate lunch at the Ahwahnee, rode our bikes, and rode the bus.  A great vacation!

Maybe this is our year...

to win a Madsen bike!



We would sooooo love one!

Trick or Treat

Trick or Treating is so much fun with a toddler!





Oh, I had a good laugh at this one.






Although at first Jackson didn't quite understand the whole concept and when he said Trick or Treat at our neighbor's house, Jackson gave him some of his staged candy from his box!









Apparently our neighborhood goes all out and we need to step it up a notch next year.  If you can tell by Donnie's costume, that won't be a problem.



Once Jackson hit the motherload of all full sized candy bars, all he really wanted was to sit down and enjoy it.
