Since we've been home

After our whirlwind of holiday travels, we've spent the last few weeks at home. Well Jackson and I have been home - Tyler has been getting back into school, working all over central Florida and taken trips to Chicago & Costa Rica. Jackson and I love having him home when we can, but in the meantime have lots of fun together while it's just the two of us.

When we first got home Jackson was in heaven remembering all his old toys and then adding the new Christmas presents to the mix, he had plenty to entertain himself with.



I had the fun opportunity to take down Christmas decorations in the middle of January and go through a month worth of mail.



We have been going back to our favorite park and he couldn't help but run from the parking lot when we got there the first time. He loves this place and I must admit I love it too!



Tyler gave him a much needed haircut.



And we enjoyed our Disney passes for the month of January until they expired last week. We're probably not going to get them again until the fall, when baby sister is a bit older and the weather gets better. But this month we went to each park once, Tyler came with us to Magic Kingdom & Hollywood Studios.

Jackson loves riding the train!


Saying "cheese" on the carousal.


Taking it all in while riding the steamboat


Tyler got his highest score ever on our last Toy Story Mania ride!


Jackson was mesmerized during the Lights, Motor, Action show - especially when Lighting McQueen came out of course!



It is now a bit harder to take him to the grocery store because he's starting to recognize familiar faces on the boxes - here he was reaching for the crackers because of course Mater was on the box!


But little does he know, he doesn't care too much for crackers - he still prefers fruit any day and now really loves peaches!


Tyler totally planned his outfit after seeing what Jackson was wearing this morning.



At animal kingdom he finally had a happy meet & greet with a character - Goofy! The line wasn't too long and he was happy to meet his pal from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.


These pictures were taken by the disney employee with my iPod so they didn't turn out great but I was glad he now knows the characters and gets excited to see them. Too bad we're not going back for a long time!

Anyways, there was the rest of January via ipod pics - throw in a couple baby showers i helped throw, lots of house projects, and hosting book club and it made for a busy and fun month!

ps - a couple days later i'm remembering i wanted to share this recipe. super easy and i actually made it for both baby showers and book club because i'm obsessed with it right now and it's so easy - Feta Dip for French Bread. I found it on pinterest and the link is HERE. you are welcome.
