Connor and Puppy meet Santa!

Connor met the big man in the red suit today! We waited in line for 30 minutes just to be stopped two people away from Santa- he had to go and feed his reindeer! So, we sat in line for about an hour in half to see the big jolly man! But Connor had a great time running around playing with the other kids and I had fun taking pictures of him in front of the santa set -up!
When he finally got to see Santa he was very excited- more so for Doggy to see santa than for him to see him! Once in Santa's lap Santa asked him if he wanted a train for Christmas- Connor's response was an enthusiastic "Yeeeeeaaaaa" It was pretty darn cute, even Santa and his elves laughed at that one! I couldn't get a true smile out of him with the camera on but I got some cute pictures anyway! Enjoy~

Oh and a very merry Christmas to all of our Family and friends, we wish that we could celebrate it with everyone!

The Great Christmas Tree

This year our Christmas Tree adventures were not as "full of excitement" as others, yet very nice! We went to Home Depot and got our tree- seriously 19.99 for a tree, you just can't beat that! The very first tree Jared picked up actually turned out to be the perfect tree! So by the time that we left the house and returned with a tree only about 30 minutes had gone by! Connor had an absolute blast helping us decorate "Onnor's Chrismas treeeee" He helped his dad put the tree in the stand and helped us put the lights on, the decorations, and of course he assisted in putting the star on the tree! Our tree turned out really cute this year- thanks to my two little elves!

Thanksgiving

Over thanksgiving we went to Louisiana and spent the holiday with Jared's parents. It was really nice to see so much family again, we visited with his grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, brothers, parents. We ate until we could hardly swallow another bite- and then ate some more! Connor enjoyed eating fudge from the dessert table- in-fact when I told him no more.... he snuck at least three more pieces (yea Connor I saw you doing it- you didn't really get away with it!) We really enjoyed visiting everyone! Jared's parents had given Connor a portable DVD player for his birthday- on a 9 hour car ride that was a life saver!
While in Louisiana we went and visited the zoo, rode the train, and hung out with pop and gigi! Connor saw all sorts of interesting animals like a "ippa-pot-musss"(Hippopotamus) and a sheep, goat, bear, monkey, and a "irraf" (Giraffe). He really had a great time with his Grandparents- he really misses you guys already!

Connor's Birthday party

Connor's birthday party turned out really nice, we had some family over at my mom's house and enjoyed ourselves. Connor's birthday theme this year was "Puppy-dog" I figured I should take advantage of the "cute" themes while I can!
So my little sister made his birthday invitations and I attempted at making his birthday cake/cupcakes. The cupcakes came out pretty good I think but the cake was supposed to look like a dog dish full of bones.... (it tasted yummy!)
Connot really had a great time at his party- my dad made him a dog house out of a refrigerator box, I'm pretty sure that was his favorite gift. He received many gifts that he absolutely loves a motorcycle, his own personal backpack, books, tickle me elmo, dvd's/ dvd player for the car, balls, and so much more! We are so glad that everyone could join us for his celebration! Here are a few pictures!

Connor turns 2!

Well it's true my little baby boy is now 2 years old!
We haven't had his birthday party yet, it's on Saturday, but here are some pictures from his actual birthday day!
Connor had a good time for his birthday he went to the park with his friend Evan, went to the bookstore (by request), went to HEB and got balloon and cake (again HEB was by request!), and then to McDonalds (By request-Fren Fries) When we got home he got to eat his cake and open his present! Connor was so excited when he opened his gift, he got a small portable Thomas train set- wow was it a hit! In fact he loved it soooo much that the next morning at 5:00 A.M. he got up to play with it! Thank God I have such an amazing husband- at 5:30 Jared got up and played "Tom-Bus" with Connor- while I got to "sleep" for 20 more minutes! I will post about is birthday after Saturday! In the meantime enjoy these pictures!
