Enjoying Christmas breakfast in a new location.

Connor got a chance to open one present of his choice on Christmas Eve.

Helping Grandpa Brown make Swedish pancakes... Connor really enjoyed his expereince as Granpa's sous chef over the Holidays.

Grandpa and Grandma Brown let Connor open one of his presents early... he loves his rocking giraffe.

Becky came down stairs to find Connor sitting in one of his toy bins in his play room. He was having a great time.

Arrival at the Boardman family Christmas at a lodge in Pinnicon Ridge, not Squaw Creek.

Aaron and Katie P sledding at the Boardman family Christmas. If you look close you can see Katie waiving hello.

Grandpa Pata was kind enough to share his gloves with Connor so he could go sledding.

Connor wasn't so sure about being pulled around in a sled... he did warm up to the concept once he saw the other kids.

You might be wondering why I put these pictures on the blog. Well, they are the only pictures I took while in Vegas.

Between Thanksgiving and Christmas Connor got really sick. This is one of the rare moments when you'll see him sitting on any ones lap for more than 30 seconds. He was sick for over a week with a fever and a rash. It ended up being his second round of Roseola (sp?).

Enjoying some milk in the dinning room.

Connor put his shoes on all by himself for the first time.

Someone was ready for bed as he was using mommy's scarf as his blankie.

Christmas time at the Fashion Mall in Newport Beach.

More time at the park... this was the first time Connor went down sitting down. He normally lays on his stomach and goes backwards. He had a blast.

Taking a stroll while mommy finished her lunch of shrimp tacos. Sitting in one place is not one of Connor's strengths right now.

This is at our 2nd favorite Mexican restaurant in the world on the cliffs in Laguna, Las Brisas. It's a great place for a drink and guacamole.

I think Connor's favorite part of the trip was playing on the jungle gym on the beach in Laguna. We spent quite a bit of time playing with him as well as watching him play.

Watching the Laguna Beach sunset.

After Connor ate all the traditional Thanksgiving fixings he filled his belly with Fruit Loops. The Fruit Loops kept him occupied while mommy and I finished our Thanksgiving meal. It was a wonderful Thanksgiving meal. We ate outside on a 65 degree and sunny day.

Hanging out on Balboa Island on Thanksgiving morning. We rode the ferris wheel and merry go round.

Spending some time on the beach in Carlsbad.

While Mommy got her nails done the boys headed to the beach for a little exploration. This was in La Jolla.

This was taken in Old Town- San Diego outside of our favorite restaurant Mexican restaurant in the world, El Fandango. Connor enjoyed playing on the cannon after lunch.
