It's beginning to look a lot like...

Christmas!!
Quinn and I had such fun decorating the tree and house. I just love pulling out all of the ornaments that I remember from my childhood, and now Quinn is starting to remember them too. My favorites are not the fancy ones (although I do love those!) but the ones that are sentimental to me. I made reindeer one in elementary school. I still remember sitting in the art room making it!
These little toy marching band members are fun to play with each year. They came from Nana and Grampa and Brad loved playing with them as a child.
My all-time favorite ornament. On the back it is dated 1976, so it is from the year that I was born. Just love this sweet little nativity scene. This picture makes it look really big, but it is actually pretty small.
Ha! My sisters will get a kick out of seeing this fella again! Remember the saxophone mouse?? We always fought over this one!
Here is Quinn's room...looking SUPER pink with the tree and lights. Very festive!
Quinn wrote me a note and put it on my bed...so sweet!
We had a faux fire in the fireplace and enjoyed all the new decorations and lights. Looking forward to a beautiful holiday season!

Thanksgiving 2010

We spent a fun-filled Thanksgiving Day at Big Daddy and Gimmie's house this year. Here are Gimmie and Quinn taking a walk around the backyard:
We tried our best to get a picture of these boys together...but there was a lot of wiggling and whining...this was the best we could do.
Love how this picture sums up the boys...T is picking his nose, James is half undressed and is wearing Quinn's boots....backwards. They are so funny!
Quinn with a yummy chocolate souffle that Aunt Betsy made...delicious! We have many blessings to be thankful for!
