A better year than 2010 is hard to imagine.....

Just because we've been so fortunate to have Jackson join our family in 2010. Although, I guess when I think about it, each day with him is more fun than the day before! Some days I really do have to pinch myself to make sure this isn't a dream, he is just so loveable, we can't get enough!!


First off, we had a SPECTACULAR holiday!!! We were so lucky to see so many of you, and the ones we missed, well we really missed you and hope to see you early in the new year! We had our Christmas with Grandma Susan, Uncle Michael and Aunt Erica the Tuesday before Christmas. Matt made Manhattan clam chowder (it was a SO yummy!) and exchanged gifts. It was a great night and a fun beginning to Jackson's first Christmas!


On Thursday we headed down south to my parents house where we spent the next FIVE days!! We were so lucky to spend so much time with Grandma and Grandpa and Auntie Alex. Grandma found Jackson's tickle spot immediately and had him giggling all week:) Such a sweet sound! Jackson also got spoiled by his Great Grandma and Grandpa Craft and Graunt Ellen and Gruncle Kirk. I don't think this little boy could have had a better Christmas!




Jackson also had his four month well-check this past Wednesday. The doctor confirmed what we already knew, he's growing like a weed!! He weighed in at a whopping 15 lbs. 8 oz. and measured 27 inches long. That puts him in the 60th percentile for weight and the 97TH percentile for height!!! Look out Trailblazers:) He's been battling a nasty cold this week, but is definetly feeling better!

We rang in the new year with Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie Alex, the Weeks Family, Graunt Vicci and Grucnle Steve, family friends, John, Trish and Kara. It was a fun-filled night and luckily, Jackson DIDN'T make it to midnight:) New Year's Day, we were able to have a late Christmas with Blair Ashley and Griffin. We saw the second installment of the Griffin saga, which I think is up for an Oscar;) It was a perfect way to begin the new year!

(You may notice how much Daddy and Jackson look alike)

We're looking forward to heading to Arizona next Friday to cheer on our DUCKS!! We're so lucky that my grandparents live only 12 miles from the stadium so not only will we be able to stay with them, but we have a built-in babysitter!!!

Like I said to open, we have only excitement and anticipation for the new year! We hope the new year finds you all healthy and happy and with a little dose of Crose in your future:)

We love you all!!!
