Can We Fix it...YES WE CAN!

Connor has loved Bob the Builder, construction everything for some time now. He got an awesome tool bench for Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa Perry and his obsession is growing. Everytime my Dad comes to visit, I put him to work around the house (sorry Dad, we are very thankful for it!) and this time Connor wanted to be his helper! He cracks me up!

 THANK YOU for making the trip out, playing trains, watching cartoons, making me giggle, swimming in the freezing ocean, for all my cool new toys and for loving me!

 I think this was Taylor's favorite part.
 There were a lot of good laughs had.
 Good times.
 Snuggles.
 Relaxing.

Christmas morning was so exciting...I don't think Connor completely understood what it meant when we told him he was going to go to bed so Santa could come and bring presents. I am pretty sure he loved it, understood it and next year he is going to wake up so freakin' early I will wish he was only 2 again ;D. He loved opening presents, his and everybody elses. He also enjoyed playing with each item so opening presents lasted until 5pm :D...quite nice. Taylor was the taste tester...she enjoyed trying every piece of Christmas wrapping and tissue paper there was.
Randy and Eileen flew in mid morning so they were here to enjoy the day with us. Mom and dad spoiled us all! We had an awesome day opening presents, laughing, eating, drinking and staying cozy by the fire. It was a wonderful Christmas day!

Christmas Eve was wonderful. Grama and Granpa flew in to be here for Christmas morning. We had a wonderful dinner, baked cookies for Santa, walked Garrison Street to see all the lights,and kept the tradition reading The Night Before Christmas right before bed. Connor went to bed quite easily....better than expected! Then us adults got to work assembling toys ;D. It was a perfect Christmas Eve!
