Busy, Busy

Between Christmas, Connor's vocabulary, and household projects we have had an exhausting last few weeks.
We had a wonderful Christmas! Connor was treated well by many people, too well for a one year old! It was so fun watching him on Christmas morning!!

In no particular order, I would say that his top three gifts are:
1. choo-choo
2. kitchen
3. a broom (yes you read that right!)

He spins in circles, not knowing what he should be playing with. The train is constantly going. He starts to cook, or sweep, or saw and we turn the train off. He turns it back on. What a lovely background sounds it provides


Can you believe that Sharpay from HSM was at our family Christmas? We couldn't!!

Connor's vocabulary has changed so much in a week that it is amazing. He still talks a lot, but the way he says things is different. It is no longer ma ma and da da, but mommy and daddy. The most amazing and wonderful thing is that he has started saying "yeah". To us that is huge, all he would ever answer was no, when he clearly meant yes. We can't wait for Cathy to hear!!

And lastly, what would two weeks off be without a project at our house? Here is the latest project...a kitchen update. I refuse to post a before picture because I am actually ashamed of it! I will say, it was just shelving and no seating. Hats off to daddy's vision, it is awesome!!

Ken has been working on his gift from Santa...

he must have been a good boy this year!

Waiting...

Connor is all snuggled in his bed waiting for Santa...although he doesn't really get it this year! He knows who Santa is, what he says, and gets excited when he sees him (from a distance!). When people have asked him if Santa is coming to his house, he's not so sure what he thinks about that. I know tomorrow will be an exciting and exhausting day for all as we venture out for 2 Christmases!

Merry Christmas to all!!

Ice Day

School was cancelled today : ( It isn't very often that you will hear a teacher complain about a day off, but today is different. Today was the last day before break. We spend the day with mass, making gingerbread houses, eating, watching a holiday movie (always Prancer in my room), and singing Christmas carols with 600 kids ; ). It is a great way to get in the spirit. This year we will have to do without and for me it isn't the same. I am however thankful that we still have power! I must admit it looks pretty too!
To help boost our spirit, Connor and I have been cleaning and listening to Christmas music. Tonight I think we will brave a visit to Santa and attempt to finish our shopping. I am ready to tie up loose ends!

Have a great weekend!
