It's beginning to look alot like Christmas

Connor and the Christmas Tree

I was SO EXCITED for Christmas this year as this will be Connor's first Christmas that he could actually be a part of!  He was such a good little boy as we put up the decorations around the house and playing so nicely with them, there was one Christmas accident where a village person lost his head, but otherwise it was pretty uneventful with regards to breaking things.

Mommy says I must still this far away

A few weeks later we all got together at Colette's house to decorate Christmas cookies.  We have been doing this for a few years now and I love doing it. This year my Aunt Pat got to join in on the fun, as did Connor and Toni.  I helped Connor decorate his first cookie, then he ate it right up!

Then came Christmas Eve.  This year was a bit bittersweet as my grandmother had passed away in October so this was our first year with out her. We had a small gathering at my dad and step-mom's house and it was just great.  The kids had a great time and were able to hang out with Papa and Grandma, along with Great Grandpa Smith as well! Such fun!

It really is more for at Christmas when there are kids around.  What a great time we all had!  The picture below, is what I found Connor doing one morning, he had his pants off and he was running around with Uncle Chris's shoes on.  Silly munchkin :)
