We made sure this year we started with Opportunity Village early in the month. We've gone in past years in the freezing cold, and with major crowds and it's hard for the kids to wait in lines in the cold. We planned it perfect this year. We went on a week night, and arrived right as it opened. We hopped right on the train and got to ride it around and around, because no one was there yet. We went down the tube slide over and over. And we spun and spun on the carousel :(.
The trick to the Speedway was get there early if you go on a weekend.
Snow at Mount Charelston. The kids were a bit unprepared, but mostly we drove up there for them to just see it.
Pretty little Sadie.
Magical Forrest train.
Benson loves the vacuum.
Sleeping under the tree.
Speedway.
Benson thinks he's climbing a tree. Ty in the back ground.
Connor gets to see the Christmas lights out his window. He uses them as his nightlight - lucky boy.
She just looks so big.
Cutest kindergarten program :).
Connor H. and Connor V. Naturally Connor made best friends with the other Connor in his class. And that doesn't make it confusing for the teacher at all ;).
Sunday before Christmas.
Our world.
The princess.
Snow in Town Square. (This year it was a bit of a dud.)
Dinner on the folding table.
Frosting sugar cone trees with the Cub Scout boys.
Mommy's scarf on daddy's head. We got a really good laugh.
Morning cartoons with his hand resting in the tractor.
He loves Connor's hat.
Ryan and Conor decorated his room with lights and a little Christmas tree. (Can you all 4 zillion stickers on Connor's wall? He will die when I take them down. I don't think he'd ever forgive me.)
Home Depot tic tac toe box.
Ashley said the weather and sun was so pretty and warm she could cry.
Stop growing.

This is a long awaited post. It is awesome. The photos are so fun to see. You guys are so amazing and have such beautiful children. I love Connor's reindeer shirt. That is such a cute idea. I need the photo of all three kiddos on the bench. That is so cute!!! I love the photo of Ryan with hair!!! It has been a long time since he has had hair. You guys had a busy month. We loved looking at lights and the Griswald's house with you and the kids. Connor's writing is getting to good!!!
