All ready and spry to open presents!
I think Connor got 10 books for his birthday. This boy loves to read!! LOVES IT! So much so that he's getting in 'trouble' at school and home for too much reading. When the teacher starts the lecture on math, he pulls out a book, hides it on his lap and reads it while she's talking. And at night, he's resorted to using the soft glow of his nightlight for reading since we've already taken all his flashlights and nightlights away for staying up too late reading. This kids loves to read to a fault! I guess there are worse things, right?
One of Connor's favorite movies of all time: Harry Potter. You can tell how excited he was to get this!
Tiggs wanted in on the action, too!Here are some pictures of Connor to remember the good-old-days:

4 years old hereAfter Connor's day at school, we went out to eat at his favorite restaurant, Tucci's. It's only location is in SLC so we made the drive up there. Brett and I actually decided on Connor's name at that restaurant 10 years ago. We went in and got seated, and who comes to serve us but the same waiter that has worked there for years! (We used to frequent this place quite often.) Anyway, Connor got a huge plate of Fettucini Alfredo and ate the whole thing! Afterwards we went to get yogurt at Luna Berry. It was a wonderful, special day to celebrate our first born! Connor is such a special boy and we are so blessed to have him in our family.

We love that Connor boy. What cute baby pictures.
Happy Birthday Connor! So cute! It;s amazing how fast they grow up! It makes me want to cry!
OK, I have to say- my twins have that same habit of reading "too much" too! Like at school, sneaking to read, or not listening when the teacher moves from free time to something else! Also catching them reading way too late at night - it's funny because I know exactly what that's like, and their teachers have said things like "I don't want to discourage them from reading, but he needs to pay attention and stay on task" or "I've never had a problem with a student who I have to tell to stop reading so much before!"
I mean, there are definitely worse things our kids could be doing, but sometimes it gets annoying when they are soo in their own world with a book and want to bring it to dinner, in the car, etc.
Kyle reads alot too, but is a little more self disciplined on when and where it's appropriate.
Love the trip down memory lane! Doesn't seem like that long ago they were all so small!
