Just before Thanksgiving, Jimmie got to experience raking up the leaves for the first time! We really didn't have to do as many leaves as I remember doing as kids. It's nice to have a big leaf blower! There was some upkeep throughout the fall to just do a quick blow-off of everything and then one big day of everyone helping to do the "deep clean" of the lawn.
Needless to say, this sweet boy had a blast! And, it was a gorgeous day.

For Thanksgiving, we had lots of people who were able to come. Steph's family (minus Marc) was able to come a week before Thanksgiving. Jimmie LOVED meeting his new cousin, Dawson. He was protective, gentle, and loving with him and couldn't get enough.
These two are quite the little pair. Jimmie and Karsten enjoying some TV together.
Lorelei learning how to walk with her walker toy.
Jimmie checking out Dawson with Grandma
That feeling when you have to wait more than 3 seconds for your cookie.
Smiley, baby Dawson! About a month and a half here.
Jimmie also transitioned from crib to toddler bed. He had the side railing on for a little while but now doesn't use it anymore. He doesn't like his bed to be made up with a sheet and a blanket. After one night of his new bed, I came into this one day. Hmm... Now he sleeps with no blankets at all. In fact, he won't even let you put a blanket on him. So strange! But, that's how he likes it!
As we got closer to Thanksgiving, the Roberstons arrived! This group of kids was pretty unstoppable.
A few weeks before Thanksgiving, it was a little chilly. The kids still wanted to go outside so we bundled up and headed out!

Karsten and Jimmie liked to play this game where they lift up the back cushion of the couch and hide.
