Steve & Danielle Jackson

We were able to spend time in both Orem and St. George over Christmas break! We got to see all of Alexa's cute cousins and her awesome grandparents and aunts and uncles. We had a lot of fun with both of our families! We got to hike, mountain bike, feed the homeless, play Wii, have a birthday party for Dawson and Marinn, bowl, go 4-wheeling, sledding, and play lots of games! We also sent Dawson off for his mission at the MTC. Very eventful two weeks!

Alexa in all her cuteness and angelic glory!

We took Dawson to the MTC on Wednesday the 30th! We were so glad that we were able to be in town! We went to breakfast/lunch at Mimi's Cafe and then dropped him off at the MTC. They no longer have the families come in and watch the movie. As we rounded the corner of the MTC we saw Donnie Osmond and his family having a photo shoot at the MTC sign. The first picture is Dawson looking at the Osmonds. My dad didn't want us to roll down the window! :)

I'm so proud of Dawson and know he'll make an awesome missionary! He'll be at the MTC for 9 weeks learning Spanish and then he'll be off to San Jose California.

fun week! see this post by my friend and neighbor Megan to understand the following picture:

The Schmidt's had us over the other day to make gingerbread houses. It was a lot of fun! Steve and I made a Utah Jazz house. Deron Williams, number 8, is standing in front.

The girls were just hanging out the other day sitting and talking! I missed most of the talking though... they would coo back and forth, so cute!

At about 5 1/2 months we started Alexa on her rice cereal. She loves it! It's amazing how messy she can get! Now we are dealing with teething issues... anyone have tips on how to reduce Alexa's teething pain?

She thinks eating food is so funny!
