Christmas in Waconia

We celebrated our first Christmas at home on the 23rd. Jackson had a lot of fun opening presents - his, mommy's, and daddy's! It was hard to get his eyes off the presents and on the camera. He had the most fun helping daddy on his scavenger hunt!

Christmas with Aunta Mir

Last night Aunta Mir had us over for a delicious Christmas dinner at her home. It was really nice to spend the evening sharing good food and good company. Jack and Sambuca had a great time goofing around too. Thanks Aunta Mir!


Holidazzle Parade

We met Nana Vicky in Minneapolis Thursday evening and braved the cold to take in the Holidazzle Parade. Jack thought the floats were pretty awesome - especially Elmo and Captain Hook. Then we walked though the "Day in a Life of an Elf" at Macy's that was pretty neat too, lots to see!

It's Christmas Time!

Today we started getting ready for Christmas. We went out and got a tree and decorated the house. Jack was very helpful with decorating this year, and hilarious as he ran around the house yelling, "It's Christmas Time! It's Christmas Time!"

Elliot's Baptism

We were thrilled to stand up as godparents for our niece Elliot this past Saturday.
She did a fantastic job - not a peep - and looked absolutely adorable!!!


Madagascar 2

Jack sat through his first movie this past Saturday. Madagascar has long been his favorite movie - his 2nd birthday cake was "Alex the Lion" from that movie. So this weekend Madagascar 2 opened and Jack got to go since he was such a good boy (most of the week...). He was so excited - he stood by the door yelling at us "c'mon! c'mon!" He sat in his chair most of the movie and probably blinked twice the whole time. Lots of fun!!!

Arthritis Foundation Walk 2008

Today Jack and mommy took part in a walk with some family for the Arthritis Foundation. The weather held out for us and Jack had a blast afterwards on the playground with Abby and releasing balloons into the sky - we're lucky he didn't float away with that big bunch he got!

Jack and the Giant




Jack had a lot of fun playing with Kiki & Cade's bouncey - until the Daddy decided to take a nap on it - silly Daddy!

Pony Rides




We checked out an apple orchard this weekend by Papa Randy & Nana Vicky's cabin. We got some tasty Honeycrisps and Jack had a blast with the Pony Rides. He got to go down a trail, not around in a circle like at the fair this summer. He loved it - thumbs up!
