Afternoon playing...

Jackson was having so much fun during his afternoon playing! He loves to play with his cars and trucks on Daddy's fishy table!

Not to sure what this face is all about - but still adorable!

My favorite profile photo of Jackson

Frosty Day

We packed the kids up and went for a drive to Spirit Lake. We had a few more presents to buy and thought we'd see what the Iowa Lakes had to offer! It was such a beautiful frosty wintery day and luckily I grabbed my camera on the way out the door. Jackson was tired and fell asleep in the car. This is unlike Jackson for he will fight sleeping in the car, I suppose he can't miss anything! Ariana was having fun with her American Girl. I would've loved to stop every few miles to take more photos but that is something I have to do when I am by myself.

Santa at Pioneer Village

Mother Nature must know when Santa is going to visit Pioneer Village because EVERY year it is super cold, but it still doesn't stop us from visiting Santa. Usually Mrs. Claus is there but she must have been busy back at the North Pole!

Redwood Falls Thanksgiving

Anyone that knows Jackson, knows that he loves food! We jokingly say that he has hollow legs so when he ate an entire piece of pumpkin pie by himself no one was surprised!

Our attempt at a family photo!

The 2nd attempt at the family photo!!

Almost everyone was there. We were missing Natzali.

On our way home we drove through the Falls area. So beautiful - my goal is to come back in the fall when the colors are changing!
