Christmas Morning 2011

Conner got a lot of great gifts for Christmas this Year! He must have been a good boy, because he got everything he asked Santa for. He forgot what day it was when he woke up until I told him Santa had been there! He was excited to run out and see if he left anything and see if he drank the milk and ate the cookies.

Then, he started opening his gifts at snail speed. Not getting in any hurry, taking several breaks, and wanting every box opened and put together right now.

It took longer than most 2 yr olds probably would, but we got to the end.

He got a tool bench and tools, movies, wooden blocks, Lego's, several put together trucks and dinosaurs that came with drills and screws, an artist box and paint tools, toy campers, much more.

From mom and dad he got, a John Deere Tractor, and several movies.

We are still sifting threw the debris of the tornado today!

Shaving

Conner keeps asking his dad, "How do you get those hairs off your face?"   So, he got to learn to shave.

Santa One More Time

Conner told me Saturday on the way to Rockport that he forgot to tell Santa something when he talked to him at daycare. Ought Oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He forgot to tell him that he wanted a tool bench/ work bench to go with his tools he had asked for.

Off to the mall we go Sunday night.

Conner said he wasn't going to sit on his lap or shake his hand or give him knuckles.

He just wanted to talk to him. So, that meant we all had to sit with Santa and Conner hid behind me. So, once I started telling Santa about the tool bench, Conner chimed in that he needed some tools for the tool bench and some tractors. Santa said "What color tractors? Blue or Red?"  Conner said "No, an orange one."  (That is his favorite tractor at Grandads - orange.)  Then he was done and off we went.

He insisted on wearing his Santa Hat because that is what Santa wears.

I am honestly surprised it went this well!!!!

More Christmas Fun

Big Boy Bed

Big Boy Bed

Conner was switched to a big boy bed a couple of months ago on his 2 1/2 yr Birthday.

I forgot to post about it. He does really well. He knows he is not allowed to get out of the bed once he is put in it. If he gets out, he gets the baby gate put up. He is really good about staying put though. A few times, we have heard a big boom and found Conner on the floor after he has fallen out in his sleep.

Daycare Christmas Party

Friday was the Daycare Pajama Christmas Party. The kids wear their pajamas all day and bring junk food and their gifts to the classroom and teachers. Conner took Doughnut Bank Doughnut holes as he always does. He bought the class a tool bench/work bench and bought his 4 teachers Kohl's gift cards.

Conner thinks he can fly since Aunt Jamie and Uncle Ben gave him some Superman Pajamas.
Here he is trying to fly across the table.

Henry is a copycat.

Conner and Isabelle

This is the gift Conner brought but he has no idea what it is and is dying to open it.
