Some cute Christmas Photos

My friend and I were getting ready and planning out our first photography assignment - winter mini sessions.  So, while we were setting up, I had to snap a few adorable pictures of Connor!!  It is starting to look a lot like Christmas!  I cannot wait to celebrate Christmas with this cutie this year.  He will be able to open his presents and he is now gets so excited over the little things, so I think that he will LOVE to see what is under all the wrapping paper.  He doesn't understand Christmas or presents, but he will love to get lots of new toys!  I know he is going to be SO excited.  I cannot wait to see his face light up on Christmas morning!!

Our little model!! Can he be any cuter?!?!?!?!??!

Grandpa's Train

Grandpa set up his train from when he was a little boy and Connor loves it!  He is really good at making the train go really fast and stop.  It is so awesome to see Grandpa and Connor together!!

Breakfast With Santa

We know that Connor was not a big fan of seeing Santa downtown, but we thought maybe he would be okay meeting him during a breakfast with Santa and he could go up to him when he was ready....well, not so much!  The breakfast was very good and Connor loved it.  After we were done eating breakfast, we decided to walk around and see Santa.  Well, Connor did not want anything to do with Santa at all.  We got a really cute picture of him last year, but not this year.  So, we decided to do a family picture...

Christmas Lights Downtown

We took a trip to Chicago to go see all of the Christmas lights with Diana, Riley, Carson and Grandma.  We had a great time!  It was so neat to see Michigan Avenue decorated in lights.  We made our way to the Macy's store downtown to look at all of the window displays and lights too.  This was our first time doing this and I really hope we make it a tradition.  It was so fun!!


We had a surprise visit to go see Santa too.  Connor was not too fond of Santa at all!!  Poor guy. 

Cutting down the Christmas Tree

One of my favorite family traditions we have is to go cut down the Christmas Tree after Thanksgiving.  We had a lot of fun picking out our tree and getting is all decorated for Christmas.  Connor was a big helper in picking out the tree!!!  Don't mind his outfit, we forgot his jacket (I know...I know....), so we had to use what we had!  haha.  Doesn't he look good in that scarf?!??!

Winter is here!

We had our first fire in the fireplace and Connor loved it!  He thought it was so neat to see.  He asks us all the time now to turn the "fire on, fire on, fire on."

Winter is here and I am already for warm weather.  BRRRR..

**Please note that Barry is standing right by Connor in case he got too close to the fire :)  He was not in danger at all.


 

Thanksgiving - a little late....

Happy Happy Thanksgiving!!  I know that this blog is extremely late, and I am so sorry!! 

We celebrated Thanksgiving this year at Grandma and Grandpa Wells' house.  Connor was so excited to spend the day with his Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents and cousins.  He had a great time and was a very good boy!!  We enjoyed a wonderful meal and each others company.  We have so much to be thankful for this year and it is always a great time to remember this.  We are so very fortunate for good jobs our health, wonderful, caring and loving family and friends and so much more.  One of our biggest blessings is Connor and being together as a family.  He has brought so much joy to our lives and I love seeing him grow each and every day!

Connor also went bowling for the first time the day after Thanksgiving and he did great!!!  He loved it and can't wait to go again!

Happy Thanksgiving!!
