Dear Jackson,

I'm happy to say I think you're back to your normal self!! It has been 2 weeks of pretty much being miserable.  Not only you, but us as well!  You got sick after we got home from Prague and finally I think you're feeling back to normal.  You are running and laughing, and finally playing again by yourself.

It was hard on your daddy and I because you were so unhappy and crying a lot while you were sick.  This weekend was great though.  We got out of the house in the morning and ran into the Zwarte Piets for Sinter Klaas here in the Netherlands.  They are like Santa's little elves and give out candy to the kids in town.

We got you a new tent to play in and you love it.  You spent tons of time playing in there and think it's so funny when Grace or Daddy or I get in with you.  We also got to go to Kaelen's 4th birthday party.  It was a pirate theme and you love to say "daarrrr" like a pirate.  (Daddy taught you this) You ran around with the big boys getting chased by Ryan's dad.

It started snowing last night, you loved it!

Kaelen got a Holland bus for his birthday that he already had so we bought it from them and you love it too.  You were spoiled this weekend!  You deserve it though after being so sick for so long.  You ate just as much as mommy all day long!

Playing in your tent with your new bus

We have started an advent calendar or activities to do to celebrate Christmas.  Yesterday we made the calendar and today we made some snowmen out of cotton balls.  You had a great time throwing around the cotton balls and coloring on your "baby" snowman!

It was a great weekend and I'm looking forward to the week with you!

Love,
 
Mommy
