A little Thanksgiving day relaxing at Grandpa's before the big meal.

The day after Thanksgiving we got a big dumping of snow. Here Abbie takes a turn at clearing the driveway.

Lucas gets into the act as well.

Both kids thought it was a blast to help out.

Here is the world-famous Jackson precision clearing team in action!

All done! (Well, almost. Wouldn't want to proclaim 'Mission Accomplished' just yet!)

Now for the sidewalk.

Chuck and the kids take a well-earned sledding break after all their hard work clearing the driveway.

Wheeeeeeeeee!

Lucas hams it up for the camera on Chuck's return from Spain.

Abbie thoroughly enjoyed the traditional flamenco dress Chuck bought for her in Sevilla.

You dance, girl!

Lucas and Grandma share a giggle.

What is Princess Abbie up to now?

Abbie fell in love with the heart jacket she got from Tom and Penny.

Mmmm, pretty. Christmas Eve, after the kids have gone to bed -- the calm before the storm.

A Christmas morning portrait?

What were we thinking, trying to get the kids to hold still for pictures BEFORE presents??!?

Abbie shows Chuck how to make a meal with her new Play Doh kitchen.

Yum, dinner time!
