Dear Jackson,

We had a fun fall weekend, full of birthday parties, Halloween, pumpkin carving, and playing in the leaves. It was a really loooong week as we all had the flu so we all needed some rest and relaxation. We stayed close to home but we still had lots of fun.

Saturday we went to your friend Abby's 2nd birthday, all your friends were there. Her neighborhood was also having a Halloween night so all the kids dressed up for trick-or-treating. You were a monkey! You actually let us keep the hat on you unlike the last time. You did so well but we think you got cold towards the end because you started crying, so we took you home. We all sang songs on the way home and warmed up together.

Today was a beautiful fall day, it was a little cold but the sun was shining so we decided to take some fun pictures in the leaves! We took a nice long walk and played in a couple of parks. You had so much fun walking, playing in the leaves, and going down the slide.

This afternoon you and I carved pumpkins while mom baked pumpkin seeds. You loved watching me carve the pumpkin but you thought the inside was a little too slimmy. You shook a little when you stuck your hand inside.

We made the best of our last Halloween (and fall) in Holland! Can't wait for next year's Halloween :-)

Love,
Dad
