Christmas Eve

In the morning, Connor slept really late (and Mommy and Daddy thank you for that).  He had some grapes, pancakes and milk for breakfast and then played in the kitchen with his favorite dog, Bristol. 

After that, we got dressed and headed out for a special playdate with some new friends!  We met up at a kids activity center and both of the little ones was terrified of the blow-up bouncy toys.  Why?  They look like so much fun!  Connor needed a little warming up before he felt comfortable (I think he might have been sleepy because that's not like him at all).  But after a little while, he was racing around and pointing at all the lights and sounds coming from the arcade games. 

We braved the pouring rain and headed over to a little cafe for lunch where he got to know his new friend, Maryn.

They held hands and it was adorable!

We made a huge mess on the floor, but it was really fun and we got to know our new friends.  It was really nice to get out of the house and meet up with a super sweet mom and adorable little girl.

While Connor took a nice long nap, Mommy got a chance to rest and watch some tv.  Grandma prepared a bunch of different appetizers and snacks for the family that came over to celebrate the holiday.  There was a lot of playing, giggling, and getting into trouble that night.

I loved every time Connor would walk by the Christmas tree and piles of presents and point to them.  He was very interested in this one silver box even though it wasn't for him.

Can we open presents yet?
