The Zoo - through Connor's eyes

As I mentioned before, Connor got his very own camera for Christmas. He really likes taking pictures. So a couple of weeks ago, the weather was really mild for January - 50s - so we decided to take a trip to the zoo. Connor insisted on bringing his own camera to take pictures of the event. Here's the zoo - from his perspective.

Our favorite animal of the day - The red panda

Last - but not least - the elephants

Christmas 2012

 This year, Connor made sure that we were well prepared on Christmas Eve. He carefully laid out the cookies and milk for Santa and put some reindeer food on our lawn to attract the sleigh.

Santa was very generous this year :)

Connor woke up very excited - "It's Christmas!!! Let's go downstairs and see our presents" he was yelling as he bounded into our room. We woke Jack up and then hurried downstairs to see what Santa brought us. Connor had to dive in... Jack took his time and was sure to get his morning milk first.

Jack's new truck

Connor's new camera - more on that to come

Both boys got Geo Trax - Jack got the train set

And Connor got the batman set - so fun!!!

Getting Ready For Christmas

With all the festivities going on we are a little behind with our posts but we wanted to share a summary of the activities as we got ready for Christmas and Santa this year.

Decorating the Christmas Tree (with McQueen and Mater ornaments or course!)

Waiting for Snow....

This year we have yet to see snow so the boys decided to make some of their own snow with some packaging materials.  We are still finding pieces of white foam in our house.

Meeting Santa

The year the boys are very excited about Santa coming this year.  We even got to see him before Christmas in CT (of all places) for our visit out to see Lauren and Ryan.
