A little Christmas fun

A week ago we put up our Christmas tree and the few decorations that we have.  It was a lot of fun!

 Connor was in love with all the ornaments! He was so excited to play with all of the "balls"!
Helping daddy put the tree together


Our pretty tree! Yes some of the ornaments are in random spots. I guess that is what happens when you have a toddler help decorate the tree! He thought it was so fun to throw the ornaments into the tree!


The rest of our decorations! Not bad, for being married less than 3 years! 

Sat we went to Noble Park to see the Christmas lights! It was so cool, they have so many lights up and it was so pretty! Of course there was a huge line to get into the park and Connor fell asleep but once we were inside the park I had to take him out of his seat and he sat up front so he could see, and he was in AWE with all the lights! We didn't take any pictures because I recorded it! We will def be back a couple more times before Christmas!!


For the last couple of nights we have been watching Christmas movies as a family. Thankfully Netflix has a lot of selections that are great for a toddler!
This morning Connor and I made cut out Christmas cookies! I was a little nervous because I made the dough the night before but this morning I realized I only halved part of the recipe. Thankfully, they still taste yummy! Connor was a good little helper... haha as in helping to make a mess ;) haha. Just kidding, he had so much fun and i gave him his own little pile of dough to play with.



We LOVE this time of the year in our household!!
