We decorated a tree in our

Neighborhood. People have been doing it so J wanted to, also. We call it our Charlie Brown tree.

This evening we went to visit Ho Ho. J was SO excited to spot him!

Mesmerized!

No clue we were about to dump him in a stranger's lap...

Not pleased with the results. (Though J was thrilled and asked for a Spider Man bike. I happen to know on good authority that Ho Ho is in fact bringing a Spider Man bike this year!)

Post Ho Ho visit showing off his elf hat.

These boys. They'll never pose how I want them to, but sometimes, they're even better than what I wanted them to do! J is comforting C after we dumped him in that strange guy's lap. ;)

These carts are the best invention ever!

These boys love each other. I hope it always stays that way. I adore catching them in moments when they think no one is around. Jack is so patient with Clay and loves to play and snuggle with his baby. 

Clay is going to be a stinker, though. I walked in the room and Clay was on top of his brother, pulling his hair. And Jack was just letting him do it.

"I swear that I'll be around for you, I'll do whatever it takes. I'll make a million mistakes. I'll make the world safe and sound for you...if we lay a strong enough foundation, we'll pass it on to you, we'll give the world to you, and you'll blow us all away." -Hamilton the Musical

Trip to the pumpkin patch

Halloween

Oops. Out of order!!

RieRie and Pawpaw came to visit for Halloween! We had lots of fun! We went to the PVCC party and then to Ana's to trick or treat.

Cutie patootie!

These boys!!

Halloween is exhausting for Ninja Turtles

Thanksgiving

We had the most wonderful Thanksgiving! We went to visit PawPaw and RieRie and had so much fun! J even got to sit at the big table AND drink (apple juice) "wine" out of a real wine glass. I'm telling you, he thought he was BIG stuff. His personality beamed and grew leaps and bounds this break. We got to have a lot of mommy and Jack time before we went to Frisco and then I honestly don't think there is anything that makes J happier than playing with his RieRie. He has a VERY special place in his heart for her (and I have a feeling she feels the same about him).

We got to have an overnight date night and went to Ft Worth to see the big rival game between TCU and Baylor. We didn't last the whole game. Once my jeans (wrapped in a stadium blanket) were soaked from the sideways rain and the temp dropped to 25 wind chill, we checked out and watched the rest at a sports bar.

One of mommy and Jack's dates over the break (we had several!). All of them mommy was told to go to Target.

Car rides are more fun when you play with silly apps! Jack has a lot of crazy pics (as does Pawpaw) but those are on daddy's phone.

Car rides are more fun with Popsicles?!?! THAT was dad and J's idea...

Happy Hour is the best from the table. Literally.

Clay got some RieRie time, too!!!

But J wouldn't let her far from his sight! ;)

Clay's first turkey

J was scared of it. Pawpaw couldn't understand why. J told us it would hurt his feet.

So much to be thankful for!!!!

A Friday morning Woo Pig Sooie!!

Jack the Bandit

C just wants to be French.

Before the downpour 

And after!

J helped us "pack" for the trip back to the "new house"
