I've decided to get back to blogging. I didn't do well in 2010 keeping up with the Boatwright Family, so this year I'll do better.
Christmas was such fun this year! Conner could not wait for Santa to come. Each day he moved the teddy bear on the advent calendar to watch the days get closer and closer. Every day on the way to school, he would say, "is today Christmas?". Santa was very good to him this year, bringing Legos, Hot Wheels, Dinosaur Train Buddy & Tiny , remote control digger, and some new clothes. Santa was also very good to mommy and daddy. Daddy received a new welding helmet, key chain pocket knife and Texas State University shirt. Mommy received some new perfume and a beautiful diamond necklace that Conner selected.
We did our usual Christmas rounds starting with the Boatwright get together, dinner at my aunt's with Mama, and then Christmas Eve with Aaron's Dad and Cowley family. Christmas Day we woke the little guy up around 8 am to let him know Santa had come. We spent time opening gifts and playing before our lunch guests arrived. We had a full house with my parents, Aunt Glenda, and the Bacons for turkey dinner.
Aaron was off two weeks for the Holiday break, and I was able to flex my schedule and take some vacation days and work from home so we had a nice little break before 2011.
We kept it low key on New Year's Eve, watching the count downs on TV. We finally all tucked into bed around 11:45 pm and then watched the final count down, said goodnight around 12:05 in the new year and quickly all fell asleep.
