| We hosted Christmas Eve with Mom, Chuck, Ashlee, Aunt Jane, and Michelle. Thanks Tom for making dinner - jumbalya and corn bread muffins - mmm, mmm. |
 |
| Jo and Aunt Ashlee cuddling |
 |
| Connor was excited about his new Santa ornament from Gma and Papa |
 |
| Papa opening a present |
 |
| Connor opening his Elmo backpack, with a little help from Jake. It was hopeful that a backpack of his own would make him forget about all of Jo's purses, but he still likes a cute purse (or maybe just all the things inside). |
 |
| TOOLS! Just like Daddy!!! When asked what he wanted from Santa, Connor always said "tools, dada's tools". |
 |
| The hammer was a hit...and so was the saw, except when he realized he could hit and saw us |
 |
| Jo's new puzzle |
 |
| trying to figure out how all the pieces of this puzzle work with Aunt Ashlee |
 |
| A new sweater from Aunt Ashlee. ohhhh |
 |
| What every mom needs when they live in WI - snowpants! I love them. Now I am as warm as the kids while we play in the snow. |
 |
| Connor trying on Johanna's new hat |
 |
| My mom lost a bet with Tom, ND vs WI basketball. ND won! So my mom (and Chuck by default) had to sport their ND spirit. |
 |
| I made a mint cheescake for dessert and Connor couldn't wait to dig in. He even ate seconds. |
 |
| Connor and Papa Not sure why Connor had his fingers in his ear. Probably because we asked him not to. :) |
