Happy Turkey Day!

First off...



Hope everyone had lots of turkey and stuffed their bellies until they hurt!!

On to the crazy lives in the Brown household. Jack is feeling a little better...still stuffy and coughing a little bit, but much better than he was before. He doesn't let much get him down.

Mark has been able to spend a lot more time with Jack lately, which I think they are both enjoying. I've been busy with both my jobs and haven't had a lot of time to even sit down and Mark has been getting a lot of his work done at school so he doesn't have to bring it home. As sad as I am that I can't spend more time with Jack, I know it's important that he spend time with Mark. Jack has been quite the mommy's boy since he was born and I want to make sure he's comfortable with different people, especially his daddy.

Uncle Justin came home for the week, so Jack's got to spend some time with him. Every time he sees him, Jack seems scared or not too sure about him, but he quickly changes and gets more comfortable with him.

We had a great Thanksgiving. We decided this year to stay at home and have Thanksgiving at our house. Last year we went to four different places with a five month old and it just ended horribly. Jack was pretty miserable. This year, Mark and I spent the day cleaning the house and getting dinner prepared. It was actually pretty fun. We had my family, Mark's family and Cliff's daughters along with their boyfriends in our house. I thought for sure the house was too small for that many people, but it wasn't and things went very well.

Today we set up our Christmas tree. Mark and I always set it up the day after Thanksgiving...we just love Christmas. Jack was a little stinker and got into everything he shouldn't have been into, but who can blame him? As soon as he saw all the lights on the tree he got really excited. We have a red star on the top of our tree and he kept calling it an "apple". At least he's recognizing colors and knows that apples are red!

So as busy as we all are, I have still found time to take a few pictures of Jack and some things we've been up to lately when we have a moment.

Have a great weekend!!
