So Connor says, "I'm going to get dressed," and when I asked why because we were all suppsosed to have Christmas morning in our matching pajama's...his response, "Jedi's don't wear snowman pajamas and I want to look like a Jedi!!"

Testing his new Star Wars blaster with Daddy on the webcam

Last photo in his pajama's....

He ran to his room and got dressed all by himself and came out in the t-shirt and shorts...I'm just saying, never saw a Jedi wearing t-shirt and shorts...but I didn't want to burst his bubble on Christmas morning : )


Showing Daddy the Mace Windu character....

Amelia taking it all in!

transitioning from the tree to the playroom!

First pics on Christmas morning...about 7:15am....Scott was online and could see and talk to Connor...

Connor asked for 2 things from Santa...the Yoda Lightsaber and the "real" Darth Vader mask

Santa even brought some more Star Wars characters, Luke, C3PO, R2D2 and can't remember who else



Testing out his new mask!  It is pretty funny!

A new Star Wars Blaster gun from Daddy


Stocking stuffer from Santa...

Auntie Bean was making me crazy about her wearing the Christmas onsie...we had to wash it bc it was too big but here it is!I






A Christmas Day bath! So...she's got cradle cap...and I read online that olive oil can help...so I massaged olive oil on her head...she was smiling and laughing....and then it said to put a warm washcloth over her head for a few minutes...so you might say she had a spa today!


Connor having some hot chocolate and has his ticket and bell ready as he watches the Polar Express! He missed the FRG party last week bc he was sick and this is part of what we did at the party for the kids...so I still have the movie that I have to get back to CPT Bowen...so he watched it on Christmas Eve and liked it so much, he watched it on Christmas day too!


Some smiles on Christmas morning : )


A little present that we made for Scott...he got it in the mail yesterday...it was a little surprise so now we can share it! Connor drew pictures on Scott's copy : )

Santa's been here with his reindeer....cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer of course! They sure must get full on Christmas Eve ; )

Christmas Eve...Amelia and Connor ready to read the Night before Christmas...and then off to sleep bc of course everyone knows Santa doesn't come until you are fast asleep!

a quick pic in front of the Nativity just after the Children's Mass at St. Michael's...

Was trying to get a few pics while they were still in their nice clothes : )


We disturbed Amelia bc she was sleeping when we got home!

The biggest yawn ever!  Funny!

Granny gave Connor a present before we left for church...it's a Timex Indiglo watch...lights up in the dark just like a grown up watch!

He's always playing with Granny's watch and she was excited that she found a kid version!   Before bed...he went under the covers and had me turn off the light so he could see it glow even more!

I negelected to get photos w Connor...but Auntie Bean was on the phone when Connor opened her presents...a new Star Wars learning to read book...of course a hit...and a Star Wars Cook book! It's absolutely hysterical...Yoda Soda, Obi Wan Kebobs, Boba Fett-ucini, so maybe Connor will help me cook and learn to like new things : )










Connor felt tormented that there were gifts under the tree with his name on it...so I caved and let him open one from Mamaw and Papaw...he was so excited for the Toy Story 3 movie!


opening a box that arrived on Christmas Eve from the LaBella family in Philly...Cousin Janice as Connor likes to say! Impressed again by Janice's talent ...see the cute sweater! And more cars for Connor which he loves and books which are always a hit!
