Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa Perry's

Opening presents in his new PJs

Trying to open all the presents under the tree

Christmas Eve - Opening up new PJ's

Hanging out on Christmas Eve

Learning how to play the piano with Gramma

Christmas morning was wonderful! Connor wore his new Christmas PJ's Grandma got him. He had fun opening up lots of presents and tried to open everyone else's as well, when he was no distracted by Kirby (the dog)!!! He got a fun shopping cart walker, a camping book, music toys and lots of goodies in his stocking! Celebrating Christmas has been so much fun and Connor has been so entertained by all of his new toys :0) (giving me lots of time to post to the blog!!) 

Thank you everyone for making Connor's first Christmas so special and fun!

Another Road Trip

Meeting Uncle Mike for the first time!

As you can see Connor loves him! 

Classic photo taken by ourselves ;)

Chillin with Uncle Andy

Mike and his boys

Mike gave me the biggest Christmas present ever...a new car! So of course we had to take it on a road trip ;) After leaving my parents and driving south for Christmas we made a detour to visit our friends in the bay area. It was a much needed visit...we miss them so much!

Christmas with Grandma Tracy and Grandpa Randy

He loved the packaging just as much as the present inside!

Christmas with Auntie Leen and Uncle Randy

She is a favorite :)

Grandma and Grandpa  got Connor a new car seat

His new vest from his Aunt and Uncle

Connor had an awesome early Christmas up north! Randy and Eileen were out visiting - They had not seen Connor since he was 3 months old...So lots had changed about him. I know they loved seeing Connor as much as he loved playing with them. 
Early Christmas morning was so much fun to watch Connor open presents - it took a long time, but he loved pulling tissue out of bags and ripping the wrapping paper! Christmas is so much different having a little boy in our lives - it takes a lot longer to open up presents ;) and is very entertaining to see watch his reaction with all of his presents.

Connor's 1st Trip to the Snow


SO COLD!

Bundled Up with Auntie Leen and Uncle Randy

Little Perry Family

Us Kids with Gramma!

Connor is now 7 months old :0) To celebrate we took him to see snow in Grass Valley, California (where his Great Grandma Thompson aka GiGi lives) It was cold and raining so there was not much playing in the snow, we stayed bundled up inside :)

A NEW FOUND LOVE.

NO FEAR!

Look at that smile...

He would rather play with Kirby than open presents :0)

Pulling Jags hair

We played with 10 puppies all at once!

Dear Santa, 
Where is my puppy?
Love, 
Connor

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...

Connor 27.5 " & Christmas Tree 27.5"

Yanking off the ornaments

In awww....

What do you think...Does he love our kisses?

The Perry Family

...How I love our little Christmas tree. :0) This tree grows on me each day. Connor has no clue that this Christmas tree is the smallest thing ever ;) One day we will be able to look back and laugh at it with him when he is older. Last night we brought the tree from the kitchen counter to the floor so we could all lay by it relaxing as a family. However, Mr. Curious decided he was going to pull ever ornament off the tree, eat the needles and use it to pull him self up so he could stand. It was very relaxing ;) Hope you are all enjoying the wonderful smell of your Christmas tree :0)

Adam's Visit

Watching surf videos with Uncle Adam and playing with his beard!

Connor loved Adam squeezing his cheeks too!

Peppermint Martini's creation of Tim

Adam came to visit us for the weekend! It was awesome to have him here...I know Mike was stoked out of his mind to have a buddy to charge with him. They had an adventurous weekend to say the least! They cruised all of SB county in search for waves, drank 8 cups of coffee and decided to go for a hike instead...
Connor was scared of Uncle Adam's beard at first, but soon found out how rad he is and loved climbing all over him all weekend!

WE BELIEVE!!!

Telling Santa what he wanted ;0)

Cheese!

I had to get in there...Its been a long time since I got to take a pic with Santa

Erin, Connor and I with the reindeers

See Erin and Connor checking out Dasher :0)

Erin and I took Connor to visit Santa today...He did awesome! Since Connor and I speak a special language, I helped him out a little and told Santa all he wanted was to sleep through the night :0) Santa asked "Are you nursing?" "Yes," I responded...He then told me to drink more than one glass of wine and put some on my figure to give to Connor ;) Santa knows what all little girls and boys want, right?

In Search of the Perfect Tree

Who does not smile to the smell of Christmas trees?

There he is the curious kid, eating pine needles.

Yum! I wonder if I will see those again ;)

HA! Maybe next year!

This is the one! 27 1/2 inches, just like Connor!

For those of you who have seen our little place in SB you know why we got a little tree :0) Last year we managed to get a real tree, however a few things have changed this year. Connor was born and the living room has become his play room...and on top of that he is so curious and tries to put everything in his mouth! I am not sure if we would have a Christmas tree left by Christmas because he would have eaten all the needles. 
However, this is a live Christmas tree - so much cooler than all others!! It is the size of Connor (which is super rad!!) And it is going to be planted in Big Bear at Grandpa's cabin so Connor will always have his very own tree at the cabin :0) (Hope thats okay with you Grandpa)

Santa Barbara Christmas Parade


Mike with our other favorite boys in SB - Tim and Sam

Missing out on all the fun

After Grumpy Gus woke up :) It was his bed time :0)

I love this time of year!
