A Quick Funny

Connor's already doing some of this...

Brrr....

We got 5 inches of snow last night!

Connor met me at the back door, fully dressed and ready to play... even though it was only 8 degrees... 

Apparently there is a lot to smell under the snow.

I never tire of seeing these trees in snow.

Our home.

Snuggling after playing in the snow!

Happy New Year?

So far, 2013 has not been very promising :)

On New Year's Eve, I came down with a cold, didn't even make it till midnight.

Then, the hard drive on our computer crashed. Luckily I still have all/most of my pictures either on the camera disk or online so I don't really "lose" anything important. No computer for a week.

Connor got sick last Monday and started throwing up, low grade fever, very mild flu symptoms that lasted for 24-36ish hours. Tuesday evening, I got sick again. This time with the flu.  I had a 101-102 fever for 4 days and slept for a good portion of that time. No stomach issues, just fever, sore throat, couldn't hardly move, exhausted. My fever finally broke and I'm feeling ok, just very congested now. Connor's ok too, just coughing here and there.

Jon somehow managed to avoid getting sick.

Let's hope the rest of the year is better!

Christmas Recap 2012

Christmas is over and pretty much put away. We had to make room for the toy explosion that occurred...

Connor DID tell Santa that he wanted a ladder for Christmas (so he can fix the lights).

He also said he wanted ALL of the toys.

Jingle the Elf left him a nice note explaining that Santa was picking her up Christmas Eve night and that she would see him next year. She also said it would be ok for him to give her a hug goodbye.

Connor was so excited on Christmas Eve night!

These are the presents from us and Santa.

I did not get a picture of him with everything else from everyone else.

More Elf on the Shelf!

Since Connor has decided that Jingle is a girl, my friend Jane bought her a skirt!

Jingle hangs out in the "Elf Boot".

Then takes a ride from the fan!

Jingle went fishing in our fish tank.

Jingle borrowed Connor's tractor and brought him some candy canes.

Jingle had an emergency!

Early Christmas Present

Jon's mom brought over her Pug and an early Christmas present for Connor.

Now Connor has his own recliner!

And he loves his new Christmas pjs!

Elf on the Shelf: Day 11-14

Jingle got trapped.

Jingle wants to help bake.

Jingle approves of the Christmas tree. She does not approve of the fact that I can't rotate pictures!
