Our California Thanksgiving Vacation

We went to California for the Thanksgiving week and we had a great time.  It was a full week with a lot of new things for Connor to experience.  Connor was able to meet his Aunt Paige for the first time as she was in from Thailand.  He also enjoyed his Grandma's tire swing, notice the tongue, he loves to stick it out lately!

Greg wanted to take Connor to the beach and he absolutely loved it.  We were grabbing Connor from the waves because he was crawling straight into them!





We also were able to go to Disneyland.  Connor's first ride was the carousel.


He loved Dumbo, we think because the wind was blowing his hair!



One of his favorite rides was not a ride at all but the fountain in Toon Town, we spent probably 45 minutes playing in the water, throwing pennies, and walking around the perimeter of the fountain.



We of course got him Mickey ears with his name on them.  It was a full day and he was exhausted by the end of the day.  Connor fell asleep on the tram back to the parking garage.  Luckily we will be able to go back when he is older, but we certainly enjoyed seeing his smile throughout the fun day!

Connor, Snow, and More Connor!

Extreme close up of our sweet boy!

We didn't quite get the sweatshirt all the way off, but Connor doesn't care.

A couple weeks ago we got 2 feet of snow, beautiful isn't it?!

We got Connor all bundled up but he wasn't very excited about it.

The next day was much warmer, Connor liked it a lot more and thought he would try the snow as well.

Doing some reading with daddy.

Always curious!

Connor "the Birdman" Dobkin

Connor's first Halloween was great.  We saw some friends and did a little trick-or-treating on our street!

Connor went as the Denver Nuggets fan favorite the Birdman (Chris Anderson)!  Since he has so much hair we thought  it was perfect.  Greg did his hair in Birdman's signature mohawk!

He also had tattoos just like Birdman!

Not your typical 9 month old costume, but we think it turned out pretty good!  Go Nuggets!

Here is Connor and dad at his first stop....the Jones family!

Today we went to the zoo for Boo at the Zoo where he did some more trick-or-treating and helped daddy feed the birds!
