The things he comes up with!

Pics:

This was the first night that Jake met his cousin Johnny. He LOVES him. Johnny likes Jake, but as you can imagine, a 3 year old can cramp his 10 year old lifestyle a bit.

Playing Star Wars with Uncle John! HE LOVES HIS UNCLE JOHN!

Turkey Day! My brother-in-law is a really great cook! Just look at this turkey.

The Guys just hangin' out!

Jake riding on Johnny's old airplane. He spent half of Thanksgiving dinner there!

Playing in some leaves down the street.

WEEEEEEEE!

Conan came over one night and they dressed up. There isn't a helmet with the Buzz Lightyear costume, so he grabbed the football helmet! Too funny!
The look is because Darth Vader (a.k.a. Jake) is a bad guy. So Buzz (a.k.a. Conan) is going to get him. Boys.

More dress up. He loves the knight costume...

I love the knight costume, cuz he needs minimal help!

The day we met Santa!
The reindeer! I think this one was Blitzen!

Checking out the reindeer.

Santa!!!!!

Jake's cousin, Ashley and Santa. Isn't she adorable!? She looks like a little doll. And I mean that in the LITERAL sense. She literally looks like a porcelain doll!!

Stories:

Jake was getting ready to take a bath calling for Brian. I hear, "Dad...Oh Dad! The Dad of all Dads!"

Jake and I were playing cars. After playing with cars for more than 15 minutes or so, it's hard to come up with new ideas, so I decided I would get stuck in the mud. "I need a tow!" I said. To which Jake responds, "But I don't have any toes, I have wheels!"

First there came the "Badgel" (if you don't know what that is, check out the post with the flying cow pic), next came a "Codgel" (A whale with wings...duh!) and now there is something called a "Spotcher". I don't know...like I said before...he's just my kid!

Celebrating Thanksgiving:
Jake had to tell his teachers who he was thankful for. It was in this order...
Mason (his friend at school), Mimi, Grandad, Uncle Johnny, Mommy and Daddy. (I think we were just added because the teachers felt sorry for us!

We were over at my sister, Debra's house.
Debra: Johnny (her son, Jake's cousin) will you go find Jake a car to play with?
Jake: You're not the boss! (This could have been really bad, but at least he was smiling and laughing when he said it. And Debra thought it was hilarious!)
