Little taste of the Holidays!

We had a wonderful vacation visiting family in Utah over Christmas and New Years - we are missing everyone already :) Sorry these photos aren't in chronological order - They downloaded backwards (the end of our trip first), and there are simply too many to rearrange them
Enjoy . . .

Connor loved to sit on the back of this huge stuffed animal "Cheeto" - when he would get tired of sitting he'd just recline back and chill - he loved lounging too :)


Chris was so excited to take Connor swimming for the first time, and Connor did not disappoint - he loved the water :) We took him swimming at his Grandma Norma's club house - the same pool that Chris has been swimming in since he was little!


Snuggle time with Grandma Norma after swimming :)


How Connor rang in the New Year - this photo was taken at 12:01 on 1/1/11 -


Connor has always loved bathtime, but he seems to particularly like his personal bath and changing room at Grandma Kay & Grandpa Dave's house - Funny boy!


Grandpa Dave brought balloons home from work for Connor and they provided HOURS of entertainment - he was thoroughly fascinated by them!


4 generation photo on Chris' maternal side -


Connor's first hike in Zion's National Park - We love this place :)


One of our favorite things to do with Mom and Dad is hiking and exploring - looks like Connor is following in our footsteps!


It was worth braving the cold weather for views like this :)


Never to young to start . . . right?


We have 4 generation photos of Connor with Grandma & Grandpa Call and Hill, but they weren't downloading properly (we will work on that and post them soon!) - But we thought this one of Grandpa Call playing with Connor was priceless! They were both so entertained by each other :)


Connor with Grandma Denise on Christmas Eve - magical :)


Connor with Daddy on Christmas morning - Connor has been a very good boy and Santa found him at Grandma & PaPa's house (we think his declaration of love on his bib for the jolly, old man helped a little :)


Christmas Eve with Momma in front of "the burning bush"


We had such a wonderful time with everyone that we were able to see - We have many more pictures, and we will post more soon, but I think this is a pretty sizable start :)
