Conrad's first Snow and Christmas, Check, Check

What a way to have a first Christmas. Snow, lots and lots of snow! At one point we could barely see our BBQ! Tim made the best of it and had cold beer at his finger tips every evening while we were snowed in. Conrad and I did not leave the house for 3 days! AHHH!!! Finally I made Tim take us to the store to stock up on some much needed Holiday goodies. I have never walked down the aisles of a grocery store so slow before. It was a ton of fun, and we hope it snows every year. Maybe next year we can actually play in the snow with Conrad.


Even with the snow and ice, we still made it to Grandma and Grandpa's for Christmas Eve dinner and the great gift exchange! It was a great night. Christmas morning was nice and relaxed. Tim made breakfast while Conrad and I played with all his new toys. I already have all the songs of his new toys memorized. That is how much he is playing with them. We then went back to Grandma and Grandpa's for dinner. All Conrad's cousins were at their other set of Grandparents, so he just crawled around and flashed his darling smile at everyone.


Today I needed to run errands (since I have been stuck in the house for a week) while Conrad took his nap. He woke up before I got home, check out the pictures of what he and Tim were doing while I was gone! Tim put him in the Nordstrom's bag!!! Oh boys, what can I say....

Scrub, Scrub Conrad and Jack are in the Tub

How cute are these boys!!!! Oh man, they take my breath away! This is Conrad and Jack in the bath after they played their little bums off with one another. We had the Fisher's over on a very last minute play date. Tim made awesome nachos and we all just hung out. The little boys played wonderful together. They were crawling and exploring everything. It was very fun to watch them interact. After we ate and drank a little, we gave the boys a bath before bedtime. Here they are having a great time. Jack taught Conrad how to make BIG splashes. I am just glad there was not a "bio-hazard" to clean up! :)

Ever since Conrad learned how to crawl I have been looking for way to "contain" him. I think I finally found one! I put him in the laundry hamper! Ha! Now all I have to do it drag him around the house in that. Here is Conrad having a great time with mom taking him for a ride around the house. It's the smallest things that make him laugh.

O' Christmas Tree

It is officially Christmas Season! We got our Christmas Tree. Today we went with our friends to get Conrad's first Christmas Tree. It was packed with a Hay Ride, Hot Chocolate (Jenn and I shared), a barn full of gifts, animals that you could feed, and TONS of Chrstimas Trees. It would not be complete with out the rain either! We had a great time. The girls and children stayed in the gift shop/barn and out of the wetness while the boys went and got "the perfect" tree. They were SOAKED when they got back! Afterwards we went to Carols Corner for some breakfast/lunch. Here is PJ eating his "Hefty" burger. It was awesome! The little boys did a great job sitting by one another and sharing their Cherrios. Thanks Jack! Here are all the great pictures of the day. Please note the Elf and Santa outfit Mieke and Luke were sporting. They crack me up!!!
When we got home, Conrad took a 2 hour nap. He was worn out from all the activity. He had a great time getting his first Christmas Tree!!!
