Connor's First Holiday Season

Connor is pure joy for Greg and I.  Now that he is walking he is keeping us even more busy but it is so much fun!  Here is Connor enjoying his toy basket literally!

The holiday season began with Connor experiencing his first Hanukah.  We lit the candles every night and called Greg's dad to recite the prayer via the phone.

We also went to the Denver Zoo Lights.  Greg and I had never been there and it was a lot of fun to go with Connor for the first time.  The zoo is decked out in lights and you get to see some animals in a way you don't get to see them during the day.  It was a cold night so we were all bundled up to enjoy the lights.


The aquarium section of the zoo was the highlight for Connor!

We were lucky to have a white Christmas which made Connor's first Christmas even more special.  Grandpa made Connor his first snowman.

Here we are before the Christmas Eve service.  

Our parents were both able to join us for Connor's first Christmas so as you can see he received just a few presents from his grandparents, us, and Santa of course!

His new kitchen!

Opening presents was a lot of fun not only for Connor but for us to watch.  I can only imagine how much more fun it will be!

He also got a dump truck filled with legos, such a boy toy!

Grandma and Connor hanging out.

Such a happy boy!

Enjoying his ball popper, how many of you remember having one of these toys?!

His car is his favorite toy and we all got our exercise pushing him around the house in it!

Connor also got his own chair which he likes climbing on more than actually sitting in!

It was a perfect holiday season and we look forward to many more to come.  Connor is 11 months today and we can't believe our little man will be 1 soon, time truly has flown.  We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and has a safe and happy new year!

  1. Oh baby Conner, you are getting so big so fast. I have so enjoyed seeing all the things you are doing on this blog and in person. Tell your mommy to call me soon so we can have a fun playdate. I miss you and really want to see you walking. I hope you enjoy your car as much as Gavin loves his. He stopped using a stoller after we got him his push car. Happy Holidays Little Man!
