This is the second year that the Handbell choir I play in has had the opportunity to play at the Temple Visitor Center. We had a great time. Jack's favorite song was Jingle bells and he's been singing it ever since.

Visit from Larsens
Shay shay and her mom, who Jack fondly calls grandma Larsen, were able to come visit us a few months back. They came with Jack and I to the zoo. We had a blast visiting with them.
Marvel Universe Live
Back in September Tony and I were able to go to see a very cool show. It had all the most important things like motorcycle chases, fire, people flying, fist fights and explosions. Oh and don't forget super heroes. It was called marvel universe live and I'm pretty sure the target audience was ten year old boys. But Tony and I are young at heart so we loved it.

Ward Christmas Party and Thai Chi
First off, please enjoy this awesome video of Jack doing Thai Chi with me. I have a DVD that he likes to do with me. The funniest part about this video is that at no point in the DVD do they touch their toes.
The relief society president of our ward asked me to make a backdrop for our ward Christmas party of a Mansion. We read the book The Mansion, by Henry Van Dyke. It is a great book. They acted out some of the scenes in the book. It was a great party. (The backdrop I painted was 12 ft by 9ft. It was a really fun project).
At the end of the party, Santa came out. Jack greeted him at the door and then followed him all the way to his chair and then climbed right into his lap. That answered our question of whether Jack would be scared of Santa this year. Jack explained to santa that he would like some trains for Christmas.
Family Pictures
Out here in Virginia they don't have many snow plows. Instead, they have leaf suckers. Everyone just rakes or blows their leafs into piles on the street, and then a giant truck comes by and sucks them all up. Well, we decided to take advantage of those awesome leaves.
Halloween Hobbit
We decided this year that we wanted to do homemade Halloween costumes. We also decided that it would be really fun to go with a Lord of the Rings/Hobbit theme.
So Jack was Bilbo. I couldn't find a green cape, so I ended up buying that fabric at the thrift store and sewing it. We couldn't find him brown capris, so those are 6 months old pants. He was telling people that he was a Hobbit for weeks after Halloween.
I was an elf and Tony was Aragorn.
Jack loved trick or treating, but he is so social and couldn't understand why he couldn't just go into everyone's house and visit for a while.
Visiting with Friends at the Temple
Greg and Nikelle came to DC to visit and we were able to see them at the temple visitor center
Jack and Logan are good friends. They had a lot of fun together.
Jack loved the statue of Christ, and he especially loved when they would push the button and a prerecorded voice taught of Christ. He kept asking to hear Christ talk again and again. It was really sweet. He was so reverent.
