Santa Claus


This year we got to see Santa Claus at Disneyland. Not only did we see Santa, but Mrs. Claus and Santa's reindeer too! In this shot Connley is asking Santa for a Toy Story Woody for Christmas. He was so excited to see Santa and ask him for Woody.

So, was Connley a good boy this year? What could be in that present with the big red bow?!
.....

I'd say he was a good boy!

Christmas Day

How did you spend your Christmas day?

Once the kids went down for their naps Jason and I spent our Christmas afternoon making this short film with some of the new toys we, I mean the kids, got for Christmas.

We hope you had a good one! Enjoy!

Awe, memories...


Exactly a year ago from today we had our Speirs Family Ugly Sweater Christmas Eve Dinner. I will miss not seeing my family for Christmas this year and their ugly sweaters. Christmas just isn't Christmas without ugly sweaters...oh, and family of course! So who do you think has the ugliest sweater? (You can't really see, but James is wearing a University of Utah sweater. haha!)
Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Brave little Connley



More Disneyland?! You're probably wondering if there is anything else we do besides go to Disneyland. Hmmm...nope, not really. I'm a little behind on posting these pictures. Okay, a lot behind. We went to Disneyland back in October with my mom, sister, brother, sister-in-law, and a bunch of their buddies. This trip was especially fun because the fact that Connley is now tall enough to ride the big rides! Yay! And the best part is he is also brave enough. Maybe because I didn't really give him a choice to be afraid. I just took him on the rides and told him how cool and fun they were and he thought they were cool and fun. So now when I ask him what his favorite rides are at Disneyland he tells me, "the Hotel (the Tower of Terror), Speedrace Train (Thunder Mountain), Space Mountain..." and of course Buzz Lighteryear, Finding Nemo, and Pirates are still on the list. I love my little boy!!! So, here are some pics from Connley's first experiences on these rides...

The Tower of Terror



Here's a closer look of his face. Haha! LOVE it! And yes, he still wants to ride the ride.



Here's Space Mountain. Wait. Where is Connley?! Well, he's sitting in the chair next to me. Can't see him at all. Yes, he's in the seat in front of my terrified, screaming sister. I imagine his face was somewhat like the one above.










Connley's High Tech Space Shuttle

Connley and I built a space shuttle for him the other day. He kept sitting inside this box that I was meaning to throw away and decided that he was having so much fun with it that we should color it and make it something cool. So it is his NASA space shuttle, called Space Shuttle Connley. Once completed I had him sit in it and I pushed him around the apartment until I just about fell over dead (like after one minute!). So, that was our fun little project!
