Our Little Guy

The last couple weeks have been so busy and Jack has grown SO much! He experienced his first Thanksgiving, and he spent the night at Grandma & Grandpa's house without us for the first time! My parents took Jack for a night over Thanksgiving break while Alicia and I had a night away. It was a very refreshing time for us.

We spent the first half of our break in Omaha. It was fun to visit family and see Jack "interact" with his cousins. He especially liked his only boy cousin, Truman. Truman would just smile at Jack and he thought Truman was pretty funny! At one point, Truman was the only one who could get Jack to stop crying. We were in Minnesota for a few days also and spent Thanksgiving there. We had so much fun staying with family friends and Jack (the only grandchild on Alicia's side) got plenty of love and attention, which he loves!

Jack and his cousin Brenna love the exersaucer.

After the Nebraska-Colorado game, a group of us went to downtown Minneapolis for their annual Holiday parade. Pictured are L to R: John and Pam (who hosted us), me, Alicia's sister Kate, our brother-in-law Chris, and Alicia's sister Kristin.

He is such a happy little guy!
