Connor with "Santa"

We're learning new things everyday as we go down the parenting path. One thing we learned this year is that it's not easy getting pic's with Santa. We found Santa at the mall, but when we got there the line was closed so Santa could take a lunch. I'm almost glad that it was closed because it was at least an hour long wait and Connor and lines don't mix. So we went looking for Santa (in a terrible storm) at a Christmas Tree yard where I had seen him the previous day with his reindeer, but again we were too late. Santa wasn't there. By this time we were all done, so to make due, Mikey is filling in as a young Santa and this is the pic that I got. I figured it was fitting as this is probably the same face that Connor would have made with the real Santa. Plus, I saved $39.95. So the lesson we learned this year is that we won't be missing Santa at Dave's party next year!

Pic's of Connor

I'm a slacker. I haven't posted for over a month, time just got away from me this year. Here's some pics of Connor that I've wanted to post. We rarely get a pic of him looking at us, so I thought this one was cute. He's just having a little McDonalds with his monkey.

This is Connor with his Christmas trike that he found before xmas. He was trying to get it into his hut with him.

First time playing in the leaves

I call this hut head. Look at his hair standing up on end. Connor loves huts. This is one we made over an outdoor play cube.

Sliding with his train. This play cube has made for hours of fun for Connor.

Mmmmm.....pie!

Connor has a monkey that he sleeps with and totes around. I thought this pic was funny, not only because his feet are hanging out of the crib but because if you look closely you can see his monkey in the crib down by his feet.
