OCTOBER
In October we celebrated Jackson and Ellie turning 6. They had a big bowling party which was tons of fun. Kind of the first drop your kid off party. Whew!
For Halloween my mom came in to help us get the kids out to go trick-or-treating. We were out for more than 2.5 hrs. Cooper had a ball going up to the house just staring at people as they put candy in his bag. May the force be with you!
NOVEMBER
November was a big month for the Haught household. Jackson, Ellie, Chad, & I took off for Disney World. Cooper stayed with grandparents. We missed him BUT it was tons of fun to be able to just hang out with the big kids. They were the best to travel and experience Disney with. We went for 7 days and completed every park and every ride. Jackson was quite the hilarious one. Our first ride when we arrived to Disney was at Hollywood Studios - Tower of Terror. The kids looked like ghost when they got off. Jackson even cried a bit BUT that was the last tear we saw the entire trip. He rode every ride with awe and excitement. His favorite was at Animal Kingdom - Everest. It was a really big scarey ride. Ellie's favorite was thunder mountain. One morning at Magic Kingdom we got there right when it opened and I think we rode it 3 times in row. Yahoo. We had lunch with the Disney Princesses and breakfast with Pooh's crew and Mickey's. What a neat experience to watch your kids see these guys as movie stars! I think Chad even drooled a bit over Ariel. Jackson has now said that when he is 18 he is going to work at Disney during the summer. I asked him where he would like to work and he said space mountain (their other favorite ride) b/c he could ride it whenever he wanted. We had a truly magical experience. I would do it a million times again with them. Enjoy the scrolling pic!
DECEMBER
Now onto December. December was a bit slower month for us. Cooper is a busy little boy. He loves to play with balls galore. You name it he does it. He is quite the player of golf. Chad says he is our key to having a lush retirement. He kicks with both his left and right foot, we are hoping he bats the same as well. Ha! He is a cutie pie and J&E love him to death. He loves to blow kisses, give kisses, and of course what all boys do..head butt. He is talking some (not a ton). He makes the greatest animal sounds -dog, owl, cat, bear, dinosaur, pig, an snake. So fun. My favorite is the kitty cat. He also says car, baball, dada, uhoh, done, and a few more. We are just waiting for the babble to turn into sentences.
Christmas was fun. We stayed in Dallas until a couple days after Christmas. We had Chad's family in for a couple days and the kids had a blast. We went ice skating. Ellie was still a bit wobbly (just didn't want to get wet if she fell) when we finished up but Jackson had increased his skill level of skating while accomplishing being soaking wet!

The week after Christmas we headed to my dads and moms to visit their nonna/papa & Marmie/Papaw. They got to see their great grandmother who they were so sweet with. Just made me so happy to see them love on her!
We feel so blessed with the family that God has given us. We hope that your 08 was a blessing an that 09 will bring you more joy.
Whew!
