Gingerbread Party

We had a fun Crimson Kids Gingerbread Party Thursday night. I believe there were 35 families all working hard on houses. The kids had so much fun. Jaxon was especially loving all the candy. Here he is working hard and so focused.

The final masterpiece!!

Jax is so creative!! :) You can tell who was helping him.

Thanks to Grandma Nakker for the cute Christmas outfit. I tried to get him to look at me and smile, but it wasn't happening.

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving dinner with some friends that stayed in town. We definitely missed our families, but are looking forward to seeing them next month.

Cole played in a turkey bowl that morning, and then with Jaxon when he got home.

The Welch's were nice enough to host the yummy dinner.

Movember

Movember is an annual month-long event involving the growing of mustaches during the month of November. The event has been claimed to raise awareness and funds for prostate and testicular cancer, but also just an amazing excuse to look like a child molester. This month a few guys in Cole's section decided to join in on the fun, and lucky for me so did Cole.
Here is my creepy husband with his stache. He looked like he was straight out of the 70's, so we thought it would be fun to dress him up and take some pictures.

This is how children react to men with mustaches.

Girls Night Retreat

We had a fun girls night retreat in Rhode Island this weekend. Brennan Koch was nice enough to have twenty girls over to her parents home in Barrington, RI. Their home was beautiful and sat at the end of the peninsula - therefore the ocean view was amazing from the front and back yard. It was so much fun to spend time with all the cute girls here at school and a nice break away from the kiddo's.

This is the home across the street - and my dream home - so cute!

Say Cheese

I have been trying to teach Jaxon to say "cheese" and smile when I take pictures of him. Lately, depending on his mood he has been working with me. Here are a few pictures of him actually looking at the camera and smiling.

Happy Halloween

We had a fun Halloween!! On Friday Jaxon went trick-or-treating in Dad's classroom. It was a little overwhelming to have 90 people handing out candy, but we are well stocked on our candy now.

In preschool on Thursday all the kids dressed up in their costumes

Egemen - Batman

Grace - Raggedy Ann
Omar - was Nemo, but didn't want to keep it on very long

We had a fun Crimson Kids dinner early that evening on campus - then from there we all headed to Beacon Hill.

Sheldon, Maddy, and Jax
These three are together every day and play so well. It has been great living next door to them both.

We took the T to Beacon Hill - it was Jaxon's first ride on a subway. He was a little hesitant to get on with all the people on there, but once it started going he loved it.

The Province Family - Jax fit right in with them. Wing was easy to spot all night. I also loved hearing kids from every where say "There is the man in the yellow hat." Some even wanted to take pictures with him. His costume was great, but he really does look just like him.

Beacon Hill
This is such a magical neighborhood. It seems that everyone that trick or treats in Boston comes here. They block off all the streets and everyone sits on their porches with candy.

All the porches were so cutely decorated.
