Christmas and New Years

Conner enjoyed Christmas this year and really had a better idea about Santa. We introduced "Johnny" the elf this year as part of our Christmas traditions. His Granny B bought him the elf and helped pick out his name. For those of you unfamiliar with Elf on the Shelf, he watches Conner to see if he is naughty or nice and reports back to Santa every night and then finds a new place to sit in the house. He wasn't scared of Santa this year and at the Boatwright Christmas party had a chance to talk to him and tell him that he wanted a toy for christmas. Not very specific other than he wanted a toy.

Santa was very kind and brought him a new Bosch tool workshop and a tonka remote control car. Conner also collected several things from family which included about 50new hot wheels, Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs, cars from the Cars movie, a motorized motorcyle, a wood train, puzzles that make noise, books, christmas ornaments and some legos.

Thank you to everyone for making Conner's Christmas so fun. He has enjoyed playing with all the new things and he has especially enjoyed watching his movies.

We were lucky to have a white christmas this year. It snowed on Christmas Eve so on Christmas when we woke up we still had snow on the ground. Conner played in it a bit and now asks if it is going to snow. With all the cold weather we've had so far I'm sure he will get at least one more chance in the coming months.

2009 was a rough year for the Boatwright Family and we were glad to welcome 2010 and expect to have a much better year. We are looking forward to getting healthy and enjoying our family time together.
