Holiday Deco

Connor picked out our tree and I think he did a pretty good job!

We all did a little decorating...

And here's our first tree in OUR FIRST HOUSE!  Yay!

TR Holiday Party for the Kids

Santa arrived and every kid got a gift.

Connor got a remote control atv.  I don't know how Santa knew!

We competed in a mean game of bowling;o)

And went on a hay ride.

We also had lunch, hit the bounce houses, got a sword balloon, you name it.  It was such a nice day out for the kids.  There were so many things for them to do.

Bears Basketball

Connor started practice for basketball two weeks ago.  His first game is the first weekend in January, with two weeks off for the holidays preceding it.  Should be fun to watch!  He's loves to be back on the court.

TR Holiday Party

Last weekend the ship had the holiday party downtown.  We got all dressed up and went out with adults.  It was fun.  We should do that more often...

Dude and His 'Rifle' - GrandPop corrected me...

Yea, he has his own rifle...

GrandPop, Connor and Will

These were all Connor's shots... not too shabby for 25 yds out!  Better than me!

What A Life!

Look at these two shacking up on Connor's air mattress at MomMom and PopPops!  Lily and Rocco have it so tough.  Can I please be them?!?

Our Tiger Cub

Connor is VERY excited to be a part of cub scouts.  He just started last month, and he'll earn his Bobcat Badge this month.  He's totally digging it.

Fall, On the Creek

Gorgeous!  Loved all the colors, although they are long gone now.

Happy Belated Halloween!

Apparently I am way behind...

We carved pumpkins with Ava and the Aunts

And Will took Connor trick or treating.  He and Logan were Anakin.

And Will decided that he needed a last minute costume... hunting gear in the garage.  Always handy.

My Ruffian

In true football fashion, Connor's first butterfly stitch, compliments of me of course.  He was actually looking into a friends door when the friend came out.  Just a small gash at the corner of his eye.  Perfect motif for football!

Project Update

We did get the tree fort finished a while ago, I've just been on a hiatus blogging.  It's a big hit with Connor and the other kids.  So fun.  WWIII was in our backyard the other day, complete with bodies lying scattered.  Even got camo makeup for the real enthused;o)
