Some pictures of Jackson exploring the xmas tree. The last one is my favorite, I wish it wasn't so dark....







Jackson's first tooth finally cut through. The poor guy seems like he is in so much pain. Last night, well this morning around 4:45 AM he just wanted to be held and rocked, he ended up sleeping on my chest, you try sleeping with 20lbs on your chest ( insert gross comment here Jared). I feel bad for him, it appears a few more are going to cut any day. He is very busy at school and today got to play in the "tunnel". I love picking him up and sneaking in to see what he is doing before he sees me. His class is all decorated for the holidays, xmas lights were being strung when I arrived tonight. In the next few weeks they will be very busy learning about the eight days of Hanukkah and having a special visit from Santa Clause!! Isn't that cute?

So speaking of trees. I helped organize the Giving Tree this year at work.
We adopted 6 families, each having at least 2 children and purchased gifts for the children and stop and shop cards for the parents. Anthony and I were in charge of an eight year old girl who wanted gloves and dolls. The things the children were asking for were sad, one boy wanted new underwear...

I'll also be purchasing some toys for tots with my "khols cash" tomorrow.

Its very sad all the children that won't be getting gifts from Santa this year. It makes me sad and also makes me appreciate what I do have!
