Snow

Sean was so excited to have our first "big" snow of the season. That means more than 2 inches around here.

Dad and Sean worked on shoveling the driveway. Sean made trips up and down the driveway with a snow-filled shopping cart.

We made a big pile which he enjoyed jumping in. I am so glad we finally found mittens that go all the way up his forearm, so he doesn't get snow in between his mittens and coat! This had been a major problem before with his old gloves.

Yeah, I'm smiling, but five minutes later I was ready to go in. Those couple of years I spent in Florida just ruined my previously thick blood. I am a total wimp now when it comes to winter weather!

Jeff had to get a picture of my awesome bright yellow ski suit. You laugh, but inside I know you are wishing you had one too. I found it at a rummage sale in California last year. It was pretty much free since we bought a bag full of stuff for about a dollar. :)

Look alikes?

Or maybe just because I put them in the same position on the same couch....

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we made the drive to Webster, NY to visit the Spoons. We stopped halfway at Jeff's brother's house to break up the trip. I don't think we would have made it the whole nine hours in one day. Once Teresa gets a bit older, and we may get a more comfortable car (yes we are still driving the compacts we had in college), we could probably do it all in one day.

We went to the annual Gingerbread House display at the Eastman House.

Ah, Paris....





Strolling along.

Sean enjoyed running up and down George Eastman's hallways almost as much as he enjoyed looking at all the gingerbread!

Sean is currently into race cars, Nascar, etc., so I think this one was his favorite.

Teresa of course napped in the sling, then woke up for a while. She's so good to bring along places!

In the children's area, there were a bunch of old cameras to play around with.

Sean tried to take a picture through the slots on this (sorry I can't remember the technical term! Similar to a phenakistoscope but vertical.)

Christmas is coming soon!

Hamilton's Christmas Tree Lighting

Just before Thanksgiving, we went to downtown Hamilton's tree lighting ceremony.

The boys.





The gals. (Guess I need to get Teresa a bigger hat! This one keeps sliding off her head because it's too small.)



Everyone together.


Next up, Thanksgiving....

Happy
