Home Sweet Home

After some treacherous driving, we made it home from our holiday trip safe and sound. It didn't take Connor long to find new ways to make Mommy worry. Check out Connor climbing into the kitchen drawer, which he now uses to grab things off the kitchen counter. He also enjoys climbing onto the dining room table and still loves to jump on any piece of furniture. Although we've enjoyed our family time over winter break and the extra winter break courtesy of yet another snow storm and freezing temperatures leading to another three snow days, it's been not so pleasant since Connor has had an ear infection and we all came down with the stomach flu one after another. Here's hoping that the rest of 2010 is warmer and healthier!

Sledding

Here's a video (taken with our new FlipVideo!) of Connor sledding with his Uncle Patrick.

First Time Sledding

During our visit in Colorado, Connor went sledding for the first time. We had a great time watching, but Connor didn't enjoy it as much as the rest of us. The snow was flying in his face, so he was a little cold and wet. We think he'll be ready to go next winter.

More Christmas Photos...

What a great picture of Connor admiring Daddy! Then, our silly guy showing off his belly for no apparent reason. Lastly, showing off our other Christmas jammies in front of the tree.

Santa!!!

Although Connor doesn't understand who Santa is yet, he sure enjoyed the toys Santa left for him. Check out his cute Santa pajamas, too!

Opening Presents - Round 2

Here's more presents on Christmas Eve. Connor was getting a little better at opening them, but still needed lots of help from Dad. He would rip off just one little scrap of paper at a time. In one picture, I captured one piece of wrapping paper flying by after Connor had ripped it off and tossed it aside. He's a very lucky, slightly spoiled little boy to have received so many great gifts. Thanks everyone!

Connor & Kyla

Connor had a great time on our trip to western Nebraska and Colorado for the holidays, especially playing with his cousin Kyla. She had lots of fun toys - he really enjoyed her princess couch and toddler-sized table and chairs. Kyla was a good sport most of the time, but she's hit the age when everything is Mine!!! Overall, they both had a good time - there were definitely more hugs than hits, even if the hugs were suggested by the adults.
