A Busy Day For The Birthday Boy

Connor had a whirlwind day to celebrate turning 3.
We started off painting pottery, and made him a birthday
plate. The lady even gave him a little dinosaur to paint
as a birthday gift.


Working on his plate.


He was actually more interested in playing with this
little doggie, Sadie, whose owner runs the store:)


Chris got off work a little early so we headed
to the park so Connor could try out the new
scooter his Grammy and Grandpa Ellis gave him.
He loved it and rode the entire way around the park,
which is far!


Taking a much needed break.

Afterwords, we went to Red Robin for dinner. They
sang Connor a birthday song and gave him this

delicious treat! Mmmmm.

Ice Skating!

Connor absolutely loves ice hockey and tells us all the

time that he is going to play when he gets bigger. Well,

we finally took the first step towards that goal and took

him ice skating! He was stoked to have his skates on, but

once he hit the ice he freaked out a bit because it was "too

slippery!!!" We finally got him out there, practically carrying

him by his arms the whole way around. But by the end of our

time he was pushing a cone around pretty much supporting

himself! We were so proud of him for facing his fear and

sticking with it.

Checking out his skates

Cora even got to come out in a little sled!

And by the end, pushing the cone!!!

Here we all are. A great end to a great day!
