A visit from St.Nick

Yesterday, St. Nick stopped by during the day to drop off some goodies for the kids. Connor spotted the gifts right away when he walked in the door, but we had to wait until Dad got home. After we ate dinner, Connor ran to his gift and started to open it. First, he got a new outfit that he wasn't to thrilled about.

then he received two puzzles that he loves

Luke also received a matching outfit to Connor and a turtle pillow pet to carry out his theme in his room. Connor opened his present for him since he was sleeping, but we managed to get a picture with him and the turtle.

and of course, Bella could not be left out, she got an ice cream toy.

Once Bella got her gift and was chewing on it for a few seconds and making all the squeaky noises, Connor threw a fit wanting Bella's toy. We weren't sure of what he really wanted a first, because this fit consisting of tears, screaming, throwing his self down on the ground that lasted nearly 30 minutes, before we figured out that he wanted Bella's toy. We had another dog toy that made the same sounds and gave to Connor, but he did not want that one, he wanted the ice cream cone that Bella had been chewing on. So we took it away from Bella and gave it to him, and the fit stopped immediately! Then he acted like he was licking the ice cream cone, and we told him no, that was yucky and then the tears started again. So I got him a real ice cream out of the freezer and let him eat it. Then we were happy! What you do just to get some peace and quiet!
