Graffiti

Found this gem on the boys' bedroom wall. This handiwork is Jackson's, with his signature face with legs. I also couldn't help but laugh at the "brainstorm" that is forming above his head. I can only conclude that it is a self portrait.

Has to be just like his brothers

i love this kid!

Christmas Tree Hunt 2011

We decided to pick out and tag our Christmas trees early this year. It made the whole process so much easier last year. Though we weren't able to pick our tree from the car, like last year it didn't take too long. Jordan acted as the photographer for the afternoon and caught these beauties.

I can now confirm that wearing a bucket on your head all morning will make your head hurt.

Soccer : The Finale

Sam's last soccer game was this Saturday. Even while sitting in the bitter cold, we enjoyed watching Sam play. He had so much fun during the season. And is already talking about next year.
