Great Hair and Dimples!

All is calm, All is bright.
Yeah, right. Who am I kidding? Things are never calm around here. But, with all these Christmas lights blazing, it sure is bright.
Cole will not stop trying to plug things in and turn things on, and now that he has figured out he can just move his step stool to wherever he wants to reach things, there is no stopping him.  He has slowed a bit on the removing ornaments from the tree.
Jackson can not stop playing (or asking us to play) catch and football long enough to eat (or even breathe, for that matter).  Sun up to sun down!
The wrapping has begun, and somehow nothing has been unwrapped yet.  I figured Cole would start unwrapping things under the tree the minute he saw them, but maybe he has not realized this is a possibility yet.

Today, I had both of the boys get haircuts.  This was much needed for Jackson, in my opinion, but I only had Cole's cut because Daddy finally put his foot down.  He said the sideburns had to go! I loved them.  I loved how sometimes they would get brushed forward onto his cheeks, like a brooding young rebel. SO CUTE!  It was absolute torture for me to get it cut today.  I love Cole's hair long-he has got great hair. Baby fine but so Thick, Lots of body, a little natural wave that makes it lay just right, and beautiful natural dark blonde color with very light blonde natural highlights. I am envious.  On the contrary, I love Jackson's hair very short.  It is coarse and thin, the coarseness making up for the thinness.  Looks great with gel in it (Dad does it for us).

While I am commenting on fantastic features, I should point out one of my favorite features on Jackson.  Anyone who has ever seen him smile can already guess what I am going to say, but I will say it anyway.  The kid has KILLER dimples.  I mean, like, "Girls, watch out!" These are heartbreaking dimples, and boy, does he know it.
Funny, since neither TJ or I has dimples, but then again, neither of us have Cole's blue eyes either. 
More differences to point out- Jackson's olive skin and dark hair (from my Dad's side of the family-American Indian) vs Cole's fair skin and blonde hair(TJ was a platinum blonde as a child-Irish and German roots). 

Like I always say, Genetics is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get (to paraphrase Forrest Gump).
