At the boys school, each month they choose a character trait and then choose a child from each class from Pre-K through 2nd grade that exhibits those traits. Well, Connor was chosen from his class for honesty. They did a little ceremony at school and the teacher wrote something that was read which explained why and how Connor exhibited the trait of honesty. It was a cute little ceremony and Connor was so cute about the whole thing.

he was a little nervous sitting on stage

the principle talking to the students explaining what it means to be honest

they called his name

getting his little award

my little stinker is so cute.

Christmas...my FAVORITE!!

Our family tradition is to go to the mountains the day after Thanksgiving to cut down our trees. And it is one of my favorite times! The kids excitement this year was off the charts!! ;) Running around jumping and clapping...I love my crazy, loud, wild family!

and the next few pictures shows how difficult it is to actually take a good picture of 4 kids...nearly impossible!

Time to put the trees up

putting the lights on

This was the 2nd year we had someone put lights on our house and I LOVE them!! I was SOO excited the day they came. It took them 7hrs to put up.

I think our tree this year was one of my favorites. It was perfect!! (and looking at all those stockings hung on the mantle...I still cant believe God has blessed us with 4 amazing children!!)
