Since Thanksgiving, we have been very busy! We have spent a lot of time getting ready for Christmas {yay!} and doing lots of running around. On Black Friday, we went to the PX to see if we could get any good deals, but they were out of what I wanted. Then we went to Ikea to get some of Connor's gifts. He had fun running around the store with his daddy.
Watching a movie at our friends house after a day of shopping. Someone didn't want to take a picture.
On Saturday morning, one of my friends and I woke up extra early to get to the PX in time for their Saturday sale. We were there 2 hours before they opened. She got what she wanted, but what I was going for hadn't been delivered yet! I got a rain check, but was still bummed. When I got home, I was ready for a nap. Once we all woke up, we put up the Christmas tree!
Our little helper grabbing the "balls".
Touching each ornament.
Admiring his stocking his Great Tia Alma made him. He kept saying, "Ho Ho Ho!"
He couldn't stop touching the tree.
After we put up decorations, we got ready to go out for one of Aaron's friends going away dinner. Our good friends watched Connor for us so we didn't have to bring him along. Downtown was decorated really pretty.
Not the best pic, but it works!
On Wednesday, I wrapped presents while Connor napped. When he woke up, he wasn't sure what was under the tree. He touched just about every present and even managed to hide one behind the tv stand.
I wanted something sweet after dinner and was in the baking mood, so Connor and I baked brownies.
"Am I doing it right mommy?"
While they were cooking, we started playing in the living room. Aaron and I both got busy doing other things and I looked over and saw Connor under the tree. He was starting to unwrap one of his presents. When I told him that he couldn't have it, he freaked!
"What do you mean I can't have it?!?"
So he took it to daddy.... Let me point out that Aaron's pajama pants say DON'T OPEN 'TIL XMAS. But what did he do? He helped him open it, of course. I don't know what I'm going to do with these boys!
Look at that face Aaron's giving me!
We have had a lazy day today because Aaron is on doctors orders to stay home all weekend {he has been sick and is on a ton of meds}. Since our Christmas cards came in a couple days ago, I started addressing them this afternoon. Connor wanted to help, so instead of letting him draw all over them, I printed out some for him. Everyone that gets one of our Christmas cards will get a special one from Connor :)
Working hard!
I can't wait for next weekend. Connor is going to meet Santa and we are going to celebrate our family Christmas on Sunday {since we will hopefully be back in the states for Christmas}. I have so much to do before then!
