The Connors – The Lieslands

Christmas Day

Christmas day followed a fairly standard schedule in our house, with some modifications because of the pandemic. The day started at 7:30 when Lucia and Rose woke up. We told the older kids they could sleep until 9 so when Lucia and Rose woke up we watch the newest version of the grinch until 9.

The kids always have to wait in the upstairs hallway together before they are released.

Lucia was really excited about her new American Girl doll, Joss.

Rose got a lot of new toys and made a whole estate for her new people and horses. Here she is taking a break to snuggle.

In the afternoon we went for a hike with the Reagens.

In the evening we had zoom sessions with the Liess clan and the Hyland clan.

Merry Christmas!

Lake Life – in December!

The weather was awesome this week, so Mary Connor found a lake house for Gary and Kathie to stay at for a couple of nights. Mary, us and the Reagens came out for a day to enjoy the warm weather.

Thanksgiving 2020

For Thanksgiving this year we headed south to the Connors’. The weather was awesome and they had a beautiful setup in their driveway.

Merry Christmas!

We had a great Christmas day today. The morning was spent opening presents and eating our traditional Christmas breakfast – chocolate chip pancakes. This afternoon we had the chance to spend some time relaxing before heading to Mimi and Papa’s for Christmas dinner with the Liesses, the Connors, and the Reagens.
