Once again

We are back to that point in the year, tax season has begun and the long hours have started.  But leading up to this week we have had so much fun and every moment has been treasured.  I have enjoyed "Fun Friday's" with Conor this whole month not including the fun with Thanksgiving and Christmas.  (I have totally slacked on posting but have taken so many photos, when I have not been relishing in the moments).

Conor continues to bring us so much joy, laughter and exhaustion.  He has definitely tested us and pushed the limits as we continue to teach boundaries.  Conor is hilarious in so many little ways and can give me passionate kisses after reading way more than 2 books each night.  Conor loves to read, he makes up his own stories and flips through the pages making up his own translation and just like books he enjoys his treats.  So much that we have to hide them, he definitely has a sweet tooth.


Conor got quite sick in early December with a virus that turned into an ear infection.  He would not let us out of his sight for very long and also wanted to be held, which we happily obliged.




This year I used my fancy camera I broke in my fancy camera that I got for my birthday from Darren and took Christmas/half birthday photos of Conor.  This kid can really be a goof.


Before Christmas we enjoyed quite a few activities during Advent.  Motorized train ride was a lot of fun and watching the miniature trains was a great distraction until boarding time. 

Puzzles of all shapes have been a great activity for these colder nights, no more the 45 pieces each to save our sanity.



At the beginning of the year we enjoyed a family lunch downtown and then Jingle Rails for some fun train watching and activities.

Conor has been obsessed with Minions for quite awhile now, one of his gifts has become his bedtime cuddle buddy.

R2-D2 snow boots made their appearance when we had flurries one morning.

I picked up Conor early one day and he was filling his belly with afternoon snack.  




We even got to spend some fun time with Aunt Shana and cousin Luke, the boys exerted a lot of energy.  But don't worry, he still fought his nap afterwards and ended up needing an early bedtime.

We are already counting down the days to more Fun Friday's!
