Connor kids

Here are Andee, Mina, Max, Will, Quinlan and Reilly in Canandaigua, NY after a visit with Santa. It isn't the easiest thing to get all 6 in a picture, standing still, smiling and looking at the camera - kinda like herding cats :)

"Who can turn the world on with her smile?"

Wearing Emily's coat and hat (which were barely warm enough)

Quinlan does her best Mary Tyler Moore imitation.

A Visit with Santa

We visited Uncle Curt and Aunt Mary's house in Canandaigua over the Thanksgiving weekend. While we were there we went to see Santa so all of the kids could tell him their wishes. It was a bit cold but at least Santa has some idea what to leave when he visits.

Thanksgiving at school

Max was a "Puritan man" (aka: Pilgrim) at the SJNRA 2nd grade Thanksgiving play. He did a great job! Quinlan and her friends from St. Luke Pre-School did songs, stories and had vegetable soup that they made themselves! After reading "Stone Soup" they decided to make a feast that everyone contributed to. Each child brought in a vegetable and got to cut it themselves. Daddy and Reilly enjoyed the day.

"Auntie Em, Auntie Em"

Yes, this is really snow. In Williamsport. On November 18th. Nope, not upstate NY. Williamsport. We woke up to snow this morning and it has been snowing ever since. Max and Quinlan went out and played in it - it is pretty wet and sticky. Chris made an attempt at shoveling but I think he was too depressed about the fact it was snow in Williamsport, so he gave up. This I expect when we relocate upstate, but Williamsport??????? In November???? PUHHLEEZE.

Yes, that is a bucket on her head

Yes, that is a bucket on her head and, I swear, she put it there all by herself. I'm just glad it didn't fall over her eyes or she probably would have walked right into the wall. Everything goes on her head...... buckets, hats, plates, Mommy's headbands, socks.

"Who's that kid with the Oreo cookie?"

Here is our little cookie monster devouring her first Oreo. If the amount of food on her face is any indication of how much she liked it then it must have been "DELICIOUS"! Now, whenever Max is eating an Oreo, Reilly thinks she needs one too!
