The Reese's

What a fantastic three days we have had. Very busy but altogether a truly great holiday. Christmas Eve we travelled over the Delaware River to The Adventure Aquarium. It was Connors first time at the Aquarium and he had a blast! Sharks, penguins, fish, alligators, and even a Scuba Santa! We went right after his nap and stayed for THREE hours! We had a great time and have so many great pictures. Be sure to check out our Facebook page early next week! On e we were finished at the aquarium we came home to find Santa's elf Henry had left Connor a surprise! A pair of pajamas and a new Christmas movie were hanging from our ceiling fan!!! After a delicious dinner (ham, mashed potatoes, and green beans) we read "The Night Before Christmas" and off to bed he went! Mommy and daddy did some final preparations and packing for our trip to Maryland and then settled into bed.  At 515am on Christmas morning Connor woke up and Daddy and Mommy were so excited to see what Santa brought Him!...

Ahhhhh! Where has the month gone?!!! Between going to Maryland and Kyle being in Virginia, this month has flown by. But I am happy to report we are all back to working condition. Connor is feeling all better and is back to his devilish self. We have been working hard on getting presents finished and baking, craft making and cleaning. Connor sincerely enjoys the act of mixing and eating cookies, mostly before they are baked. And we recently made no-bake cookies which were a huge hit! He would walk up to Daddy and put his hand out requesting one any time daddy had one. He has been busy making his Grandma and Pappy and Yaya and Grandad a special present this year. Yesterday went over a little better than this morning. But not to worry, we are working hard on making them perfect !! Kyle is coming home on Friday and Connor and I are beyond excited to see him. This past weekend was so nice to just cuddle on the couch and watch Christmas movies. Connor cuddled with his daddy quite a bit- ...

Well the holiday's are fully among us and only 13 days until Christmas! I am very excited for the holiday this year as we will finally be able to enjoy a Christmas at HOME and back in Maryland. Quick update while I am on here.... 1. Connor is officially in a toddler bed. We have tried numerous times to transition him because of his crazy climbing abilities but it just wouldn't work. So I seeked the assitance of Mr. Google on what to do. They suggested purchasing a toddler bed and leave the crib still in the room for a while to remind him that indeed it is his room. WHOOO! It worked. He has been sleeping like a big boy for over a week now. Plus he safely climbs from bed to play with toys while mommy gets a few extra Zzzz's! 2. Connor had his first bad bout of illness. Not just a cold but a fever reaching 103.1 and 3 sleepless nights. He is finally feeling better but still has a slight cough and occasional mild fever. High hopes he will be all better by the time Christmas...
