St. Nicholas

St. Nicholas, aka Connor, has brought the Christmas Spirit into our home this season. He hadn't spent all his birthday money yet, and was forming great plans to give to everyone in the family. This was contagious...all of a sudden, Quinn wasn't concentrating on how many packs of gum he could buy for himself, but instead was thinking about what extra jobs he could do to earn money to buy for gifts for the family. Thanks, Connor!

PS This was one of the pictures our friend, Dony, took at our fall photo shoot. He caught the true Connor in action!

It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas

Today the middle brothers could dress up in festive clothes for school. They wore the usual clothes, but topped it off with a Santa hat! Off they went to school, the two elves, on their scooters....
