When we finished playing, Jackson crawled down the hall to Rivers' room and played peek-a-boo with me by opening and closing the door. He is fascinated with doors and drawers right now and has had his fair share of smashed fingers!
Rivers and Jackson have really enjoyed playing together lately. The kitchen set continues to be a huge hit (last year's big Santa gift). Sometimes, Rivers gets a little frustrated that Jackson is able to get to whatever he wants when she can't reach things. Most of the time, we balance her on one knee to play kitchen.
On November 23rd, my big brother (by 15 months) Eric, celebrated the big "three-one!" Happy birthday Eric! We went out to eat at Yamato's and ate German chocolate cake. We always have a good time hanging out and catching up on his tennis and hunting stories.
On Eric's birthday, Christian (my youngest brother...too young to date) played kitchen with Rivers. How sweet! 
Our Thanksgiving Day picture! Hey, it's as good as it gets! Rivers wanted to have her arm around Jackson, and Jackson wanted to get down.
Rivers and I watched Santa come to town on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
We went to Daniel's parents' house for lunch and had a fabulous meal: turkey, dressing, and all the trimmings, and Rivers' favorite: lima beans! We drove to my grandparents' house in Estill while the children napped. Somehow, I managed to not take a single picture except for Daniel playing the guitar with Jackson! I'll be sure to get some pictures at Christmas! It was a wonderful Thanksgiving Day, and we are so grateful for how the Lord has blessed us this year!
