I'm Dreaming of...

A White Christmas!!!! Although this isn't a good picture today Lisa, Nanaw, Papa, and I went to Memphis to the Orpheum to see " A White Christmas!" I love the Orpheum and loved the play today!!!! What a perfect way to welcome in the Christmas season!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

On turkey day Jackson gobbled until he wobbled and then laid on the couch!! He's got the male Thanksgiving role down pat! :)

Tis the Season!

Wednesday before Thanksgiving Jackson and mommy stayed home and relaxed, played, and put up some Christmas decorations! What a wonderful day!

Just waking up and wanted Santa socks on!

Checking out the tree!

Quack! Quack!

Duck season is here!!! Jackson is so glad we had to go buy some decoys the other night! He loves playing with the ducks!!

Jackson loves...

His Nanaw and Noah!!!

Last weekend...

Andy and I had a mommy and daddy shopping weekend in St. Louis!! We stayed downtown and shopped in all the nearby malls and shopping areas! We ate good and had the best time shopping and spending time together!!! We were definitely ready to get home and get Jackson from his Nana and Pop (although he probably would have just stayed there!) and get all our Christmas presents hid away!! Now if I could catch up wrapping:)

Andy and I had a nice dinner just the two of us at Mike Shannon's Restaurant! The food was wonderful, the company was great, and the view of downtown St. Louis in Christmas lights was beautiful!! I tried to get a Picture from our table but without much luck!

This is so funny!!! This is not just a picture of Elmo...this is what was on tv when I got out of the shower at the hotel Sunday morning! Andy was laying on the bed watching Elmo!!!! Guess Jackson isn't the only one who enjoys it!

This is the only toothpaste Andy and I ended up with in St. Louis!!! Funny thing is I had 2 kinds of kids toothpaste and no adults:) Welcome to parenthood!!!

Watching his new snowman movie in his chair at Nana's!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Yes, I know it is not even Thanksgiving yet, however with such a helpful 20 month old I decided we better go ahead and start now!! Last night we got Jackson's Elmo tree up in his playroom! He LOVES it!!! He especially likes to look at it in the dark with the lights on and making his daddy get up to look at it!!!! It's soooo much fun!! Although I am jumping ahead to Christmas decor, I still am so very thankful and blessed and will not skip out on Thanksgiving and being so thankful for my many blessings!! I just love the holidays and holiday season!!! This time of year is my favorite and just makes me so happy all over:)

Even Elmo is ready for Christmas!!

Helping mommy carry Christmas decoration boxes!

First Weekend of November!

We started this month off right and exactly how this whole month will be...busy!!! This weekend two of our special friends Lauren and Josh got married so we spent Friday and Saturday in Forrest City celebrating with them!! I'm sad that I didn't think to take any pictures with my Phone so I could put them on here:( Jackson stayed with his Nana and Pops and enjoyed spending time with Bumps, Betsy, Joey, Heath, Hunter, Uncle Landon, and Aunt Brittany! The wedding was beautiful Saturday and Lauren was a gorgeous bride!!! We are so happy for them!! Sunday after the girls went to Helen Brett we had to go see our favorite twins!!! Jackson LOVES his babies!!! When we pulled up to their house, we realized they weren't home and he cried and cried!!! We had to drive out to the Carlson's shop so he could see the babies and give them hugs and kisses!!!! We love seeing them and their mommy and daddy!!! We got to see Laura Sunday and Ashton too!!! Plus all the many friends we saw at the wedding and festivities! What a wonderful weekend!!!!!!

Helping put the babies in their car!

Giving Hadley BIG hugs!!!

Jackson loves his Nana!!! All during dinner last night he just wanted to give her hugs and kisses...I think he could sense that we were leaving afterward:(
