The weekend before Thanksgiving, our little town has a Santa parade...I was really surprised at how big it was. Jack had a great time watching the floats and the animals go by and picking up all the candy. He made off with quite a haul...it seems like a lot of people threw whole handfuls just to him. He was loving it!
Cole was so good and stayed pretty much exactly like this the entire time.
Over Thanksgiving, my family was able to make it to see us. It was so much fun to have everyone there, especially since we won't be getting together for Christmas this year.
Since we had family in town, we took the opportunity to bless little Cole. We just did it at home since everyone was leaving on Sunday. I liked having it be so small and low key. We're grateful Sasha(a member of our bishopric) was willing to take time out of his holiday weekend so we could do it!
We spent most of the weekend just enjoying each other's company and watching our cute little boys play. We made it down to the nearby outlets to do some shopping on Black Friday (wasn't nearly as bad as I'd expected!). I came back with these little boots for Jack and was hardly able to get him out of them for the next week or so.
We also discovered that both Jack and Liam quite enjoy Rock Band. No one else really got to play.
We also took the boys to do "gymnastics" at the community center. They had a great time running down the tumbling track. Lindsey and I even did a few cartwheels! (i definitely don't have pictures of that.)A few weeks ago we got our tree. Jack has now finally decided to leave the ornaments where they are. He's been wanting to redecorate, and often brings me ornaments so I can help him hang them back up
Jack is pretty good playing with Cole. He's always trying to help with him and especially likes to help me bathe him...he uses a cup to pour water on his feet and helps with lotion, too.
Last weekend we had snow on the ground, so Matt took Jack sledding at the little hill in the park across the street. He LOVED it. Unfortunately we don't have pictures of the actual sledding, but we took a few as they were leaving.,
We finally got Cole's smile on camera! We've been trying for weeks, but it hasn't worked out. Now we have a picture AND a video! He's such a fun, smiley little guy!

Adorable as ever! Wow, Cole is really growing fast. He has a sweet smile. Matt says he is getting big fast. Watch out Jack! Jack seems to be a good big brother.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas... I do wish we were there to see both boys. We are trying to make plans for the summer. You will be a part of that plan. I promise. We have to see your home too.
Love and Holiday Hugs
