Still in Texas

Central Market

We spent the first part of this week having a little bit of fun with Elise's family before Grandpa headed home on Thursday morning.  We were able to have dinner at Central Market (on our way to Zoo Lights).  It was Beverly's first outing.  It was also good for Elise to get out of the house.  After Roy left, I stayed to continue helping Elise with the kids.  Since I've been here, Andy has had 2- 24 hour shifts, so I think it's been nice for Elise to have the help.  I am able to take the boys to the park for a little while every day, take Max to and from school (walking when I can get him to).  Other than that, we are mostly taking it easy.

So far Beverly is a very calm baby.

Mav loves the bathroom--especially brushing his teeth.

Mav getting some reassuring loves from mom.

While I've been in Texas, life continues in Centerville.  Caitlyn had her Christmas Dance (girl's choice).  Their pre-dance activity was held Thursday night.  They made Gingerbread houses.  Caitlyn said hers was kind of a mess.  

Shortly after Roy got home he ran into Jieun and Dojin at the grocery store.

Church is always fun and interesting when you attend outside of your home ward.  Below are the Jackson kids dressed and ready to go to church.

Roy had the family over at home in Utah.  Sara sent me this video.  She said everyone laughed because it was "creepy."  Ori's dancing partner is Marley's ghost (from Christmas Carol).
