It's been quite busy around our household lately, so I'm just now finding some down time to blog about our Christmas! We were up several times the night before Christmas, so needless to say we were pretty tired to start the day Christmas morning. I was a little nervous about how Connor would do with a non stop busy day, but we survived it & Connor did better than expected. We had a great day with both, my family & Matt's. It was fun to see Connor grasp the concept of the "Santa theory" this year. He came out to the living room that morning to find a bite out of Santa's cookie and was so excited! "Santa taste the cookie!" The excitement continued as Connor found the Buzz bouncey ball he had requested from Santa. I love seeing the joy through Connor's eyes :). We had a wonderful day and had received many goodies as well!

"Chugga chugga chooo chooo"
Checking out his new "Marble tall tower" at Nana & Papa's house with his buddy, Eric
Enjoying some time with Connor's cousin, Bo
We were trying to get Bo to teach Connor the art of going potty on command ;)
The new little family
Bo stole the show this Christmas! He's such a sweet pup with a wonderful mellow temperament.
Uncle Craig & Auntie Nicole then introduced Connor to his new buddies!
Connor was quick to name all three of his fish, Dorothy (like the goldfish that Elmo has on Sesame Street)! It took a little convincing, but we were finally able to get Connor to name all three of the fish something different.
Introducing Dorothy, Baby Dorothy, and Stripey :)
Showing Papa his new fish :)
Connor definitely understood the concept of unwrapping gifts this year. He was more into unwrapping as many gifts as possible instead of enjoying what was in the actual package. Once we devoured his presents, he made his rounds trying to clamp onto other people's gifts. Oh three year olds...
His determined face...
Modeling his new Buzz helmet from Bo :)

After Connor made it through his presents, he began to entertain himself with Bo's crate. New time out approach??!! ;)
One proud pup Mama!
Boys and animals...so much alike...
In three year old land, its wonderful to boss others around and tell them what to do. Connor was enjoying that with Bo :)
We were running on 'empty' shortly after we got to Lori's house, so pictures were not captured. A long nap took place before we headed home. Connor wanted to try out his new helmet, so he fought all exhaustion and headed out on the road for a cruise on his Thomas the train bike.
It was after dark, so pants weren't necessary!
We stopped to check out the neighbors' decor.
Connor was so precious saying "Look! The biggest snowman I've ever seeeen!"
:)
We slept much better that night after such an exciting day!
It's hard to believe Christmas has come and gone already! Now we're just anxious to see what 2012 has in store for us :)
