Christmas at Mimi Papa Bo's

It was Christmas Eve Eve and we all gathered at Mimi and Papa Bo's house around 6pm. The kids couldn't wait any longer after seeing the gifts under the tree. The each opened one gift and started to play. Then we all went to the 'Fish Place' to eat. All the kidos ran around and finally at their dinners. We next went back to Mimi and Papa Bo's house to open more presents.


Connor received a drum set and decided that it would make a better slide than drum set.

Get this sticky paper off me!

I think he has that 'peeling' presents thing down this year!

We all had a great time at Mimi's and Papa Bo's house. We loved all of our gifts and the best time was watching all of the kids open their presents. Thank you 'Santa'!

Decorating the Christmas Tree

Connor helps Mommy decorate the Christmas tree. He stretches to put up his ornaments.

Here goes another one. Tip - the bottom two feet of the tree are decorated by Connor. His soft ornaments fill the bottom so we don't have to have a bare tree.

All done! Now it is time for a little 'tickle' fun!

Playdate with Cousin Raelyn

Cousin Raelyn came over for a playdate and to spend the night. We started the day outside playing in the dirt. They pushed toys and followed each other for over an hour.

I wonder what they are talking about?

We then cleaned up and ate lunch then went down for our naps. When they woke up it was time to decorate Christmas cookies.

'Cheese' Connor smiles for the camera as he decorates Christmas cookies.

Raelyn is hard at work putting sprinkles on her cookie.

Connor has got the sprinkle thing mastered.

Just a little more.

Think he's a little proud? Mommy too.

A Day at Home

Connor and Mommy spent the day off at my home. We started the afternoon off by working on our dance moves. Connor slipped on Mommy's shoes and danced around the living room.

Next we played grocery store and did lots of shopping.

Finally it was dinner time and Connor had his favorite. Pasta with sauce and cheese!

Why are boys so attracted to dirt?

Connor's favorite thing to do in the country is play with his beach toys in the dirt. He even doesn't mind playing in his PJ's.


He loves picking up rocks and putting them in his bucket.

And then dumping it in his dump truck - this could go on all day.

This is hard work!

New House - Needed Help Cleaning

We moved into our new home October 22nd and this meant that I needed to recruit some help cleaning a bigger house. Connor stepped up without being asked and started cleaning.


Daddy gave him a hand and then he was off on his own. Free labor comes at a price - pants optional!
