Winter Break: Part 2: Chapter 2

Yesterday morning we woke up in Covington at Meemaw's house! After a whirlwind of baby proofing, the house was ready for Jackson! He quickly found this fun spot and was happy to keep anyone company in the kitchen :) He first started running his truck over the shelf. After experimenting with that, he decided to try climbing on the shelf himself. He was so funny crawling back and forth!

Meemaw showed Jackson how to play the shelves like an instrument!


There was tons of snow left so we took advantage of it! Last year Jackson seemed to like "playing" in the snow. Almost a year later, not so much :( He humored Daddy a little by sledding with him, but he was much happier to stand with me and watch Daddy go up and down the hill. Daddy did a very cool thing by throwing up a snowball and then hitting it with the sled (aka plastic tub lid). It made snow fireworks!

As a preview to Christmas morning Meemaw let Jackson have his belated birthday present! It was a learning turtle that makes all sorts of fun sounds and sings lots of songs! Just in time for Christmas, Jackson developed a new trick: sitting on his toys to fully explore them. Ummm... ok? He really liked this turtle and it was an excellent diversion for a cranky boy :)

The next pictures are the 2009 additions to the new series: Goodnight on Christmas Eve:

Goodnight Aunt Jeannie!

Goodnight Uncle Wayne!

Goodnight Meemaw!
