A Christmas to remember

This has been the best Christmas ever. I have always loved Christmastime, but having your own child to celebrate with is truly a blessing! The smile on Connor's face on Christmas morning will be one for the books. He couldn't even take everything all in and I still don't think he has quite comprehended everything. He knows that Santa had to go back to the North Pole to take a nap, but still wonders when he will be back. I think we are all still trying to recuperate from a whirlwind pass week, but I wouldn't change anything for a second. Thank you to everyone that made Christmas special for our little boogies! We love you!!!

All Aboard....

On Sunday, Eric and I took Connor to The Polar Express exhibit in Grapevine. Connor was so excited about getting to ride on a real train. The weather wasn't the best, but we still had a blast. We got there and were immediately greeted by a Christmas Tree and Rudoloph. They were so gracious to take a picture. The whole Main Street was decorated with lights, villages, etc. We walked a little before heading to the depot. Connor got a bag of popcorn and hot chocolate. YUMMY! We met the Gross Family and off we went. They started us out in a tent with carols and the kids even got their own Polar Express ornament. After a few songs, they invited any kiddo to come up and sing. Well, Connor definitely does not have stage fright. He sang (yelled) Jiggle Bells. You can not help but to love this kid! After we all boarded the train, they began telling a story. To be honest we were all to busy talking and looking out the window to hear what story was being told. I am guessing... The Polar Express? Soon, we were greeted by none other than Santa himself. Connor was beyond excited to see him. As soon as we were back to the depot Eric bought Connor the largest corny dog I have ever seen. Connor chowed down!! Next, Connor and Macy got to make a reindeer ornament. Even though we were all freezing I have to say the kiddos enjoyed themselves. Sorry there are so many pictures.

Gingerbread Fun!!

Connor and I made a gingerbread house on Saturday night while Eric was at the Cowboys game. (We had more fun!) Check out the pics. Also, Connor keeps wondering how Santa is going to make it down the fireplace. We got the perfect picture... sorry for the underwear shot.

Merry Christmas

Last night we took Connor to see Santa at Willowbend. Connor was so excited and waited patiently I have to say. (We only had to wait about 15 minutes.) The minute it was our turn Connor RAN up to say to say Hi. Santa asked him if he has been a good little boy and Connor said without hesitation, "Yes Santa, I no hit Grant." Can you tell what we have been dealing with at school? :) He quickly climbed up in Santa's lap. Santa asked him what he wanted and of course he still wants a blue bicycle. Thank heaven!! We left the mall about an hour later and Connor ran over to tell Santa bye along with everyone else around. I absolutely love this kid!!!
