A fun Christmas day!
























On Tuesday we decided to go to the mall for the day! I always enjoy bringing the kids to the mall every year to ride the train in the mall. The kids brought their own money this year to pay for the train ride. We finished some last minute Christmas shopping and ate lunch at the mall. Santa Clause was at the mall but since Mitchell knows that santa isn't real, he refuses to sit on his lap. I laughed when he said "Why is Santa here for? He's not real! I don't know why people lie all the time about santa for." So of course since Mitchell didn't want to sit on Santa's lap neither did Connor. After we got done at the mall, we decided to go to Bass Pro Shop on the way home. The kids enjoyed seeing all the animals and fish but their favorite thing was the toy train that they could operate themselves! Mitchell told me that he wished he got this for Christmas and maybe someone got it for him before it got to be expensive. I said that maybe he can put it on his Christmas list for next year! He seemed satisfied with that but I doubt anyone will be purchasing it for him since it's $200.00. We enjoyed our day together!

Connor's 4th Birthday-part 2














Last night we went bowling for Connor's party here in Newton. We had a great time bowling, since it's been a while for alot of people since they've been bowling. The kids did great bowling and Mitchell even got 111 for his score! He was pretty pumped! I have a picture of him when he got a spare! After we bowled, we opened presents! He got alot of HotWheels, a log semi, helicopters, wooden train set addition and much more. He was pretty excited about his presents, of course he wanted to open all of them right then. After presents we dug into our Thomas cake! The kids had a great time and we were thankful for all of the family we have to help us celebrate Connor's special day! We love you Connor!

Tonight we are going to celebrate with all of our grandma and grandpa's and aunt and uncles and cousins at the bowling alley here in Newton! The kids are very excited about it. I will post some more pictures tomorrow of the party tonight!
