Jayden and November

Jayden is learning how to be more helpful around the house. He is not as bad about cleaning up his toys and did a great job helping me set up the Christmas lights at our house. Jayden and I went a little crazy this year with the lights but it was nice to get out of the house and enjoy the outside.
He does a good job getting things ready and he loves the lights. This month we will take different ways home so he can look at other people?s houses and see how they decorated them.
Jayden has enjoyed school so far and we have been so fortunate to have Teachers in his room that adapt to Jayden and allow him to learn. They do not let him get away with much which is awesome. Jayden needs boundaries for his own good. This makes him feel secure.
Jayden had a good Thanksgiving and loved hanging out with his cousins. He enjoys being with family.
Jayden also helped make a Care Package for Operation Christmas Child. He loved doing it but was very sad when I told him we could not visit the child because he was too far away. He is a sweet boy.
Jayden, Jonah and Dawson were very helpful in working with the Lights at Grandpa and Grandma Gebers house and made sure that Grandpa Lee had a lot more lights to hang up this year at the Grandma Lee?s House.
Jayden helped decorate His and Kallee?s Christmas Tree and loves playing with the Planes and Trains ornaments.
He loves this season of lights and frolic and parties and fun. He is the perfect kids for Christmas time because everything is exciting and he gets so amped by all that is done. It is great to have him around during this season.
The next Part is included in both blogs (Kallee?s and Jayden?s) so you only have to read it once:





In a time and a season where joy and happiness along with stress and spending combine with a spice of reverence, a dash of love, and a whole lot of prayer and praise to the Lord is the time and place for Remembrance and Thanksgiving.
It was one of the best years I can remember. The kids have grown and have become little people. Kallee has been a huge blessing and has made life very enjoyable. She has so many great facial expressions that make me smile when I see them. Both Jayden and Kallee have been so much fun to take places because they love adventure. We have been so fortunate to have traveled to great places this year with the kids and family. Here are some of the best times and joyful places that I can remember:
? Thomas the Tank Engine in Hood River
? Being on the Boats of the Hawaiian Chieftan in Pasco
? Easter at Both Grandparents
? Kallee?s First Birthday and the LadyBug Cake
? Jayden?s Birthday and the Pin the Tail on the Thomas the Tank Engine
? Bar-B-ques and playing at the water parks
? Lake Chelan?(even being sick they were so cute and fun)
? My 40th Surprise birthday (Alison that meant so much to me, thank you)

? Boyd and Emily inviting us over for fun and water play and 4th of July which was great this year except for the fireworks.
But the best, very best part of the year was going to the beach and the Zoo. I do not think I could have asked for a better time. The kids were so in awe of everything and loved walking around and enjoying the scenes. The Zoo was exciting, the Beach was calm and restful and Seaside provided so many fun things to do including, trains, merry-go-rounds, visit to the doctor, the very lovely suite and all the amenities, the beach, which really was so fun watching Kallee dig and Jayden running in and out of the ocean, the food, the taffy, the old time soda, the overall feel of a true vacation. When you can go on and trip and when everyone leaves thinking that they could stay a few more days,,, that is a true vacation. So many great memories this year? so much fun, 2009 was one to remember.
