Pictures, videos and fun. Oh My!

That's right people.  Two posts, just a week apart!  Things have been busy around here.  The Christmas tree is up. 

We did NOT cross to the dark side and get an artificial tree, even after the long needled tree fiasco of last year.  Still vacuuming needles up in June, not good.  Short needled tree, and in the basement on the shorter carpet. 

We have had both family get togethers on my side of the family already. I was dumb and didn't bring the camera to the Raasch side. Sorry! I will make up with pictures from the Berg side.

Okay, they are just pictures of Connor.  Again, I was busy with my little man and didn't take pictures of anyone else who was there.  Sorry!

Speaking of pictures of Connor...Grandma Colleen requested a video.  We are so excited to see Grandma Colleen!  She will be here in about a week and a half, and we haven't seen her since January.  Here's the latest video.

Apparently Connor realized that he had been a naughty boy that evening.  See the following pictures:

Okay, the first one wasn't bad, he was just hanging with his Auntie Sally, but the second one was just naughty!  No climbing on the counter!  He knows that I keep extra Nuks in that cabinet.  And of course bad mommy had to take a picture first and then remove the child from the dangerous situation.  And please refer back to the video, I did not put him in the dog kennel.  He did that himself. I just photographed.

Actually, he was a very good boy that night.  Chad has been out of town all week and I had some friends over for dinner. Four ladies, one husband and three little boys.  Baby ages were 2 months, 5 months and 18 months.  Connor ate his spaghetti and showed off a little, and even layed on the floor with the little boys for a bit.  He loves babies!  He also loved playing with a baby toy or two.

In other news this week, Tyler can officially drive that car of his, without an adult sitting next to him!  Woo-hoo! 

I also learned that if a slightly crabby baby doesn't want to take a bath, just let him bring a toy or two into the bath that he has never brought in there before.  Can you say bathtub racetrack?  Those cars move pretty fast along the edge of the tub, and even can drive up the wall!  Thanks for the cool cars Auntie Barb, they turned the bath from a 3 minute scream fest (last week) into a 40 minute play time tonight. 

Okay, super long post, if this crashes and erases before I hit publish I'm going to scream.  Off to watch a little tv and wait for Chad to come home. But, I shall leave you with a family photo and wish you a very Merry Christmas!
