Quinn's Christmas party

Lola, Maelee, Anna Grace, Quinn, Nicole, and Denise
Lily and Quinn, gymnastics buddies

Quinn had a Christmas party to wrap up the school week on Friday. They had tons of food and Christmas music. She has a 'fireplace' in her room that stays on all day, even during naptime. It is so soothing, and has the crackling fire sound or guitar and piano music.

Tyndale

Quinn has several Christmas activities that we have posted lately, and that may leave you wondering what is going on with Tyndale! He is doing just fine, enjoying the Christmas lights and decorations...and growing in new molars..ouch! He is saying new words like "go" and "hot" (the last one always about Mama's coffee!) and learning new things everyday! Notice how we put the tree on a table this year? Has been a great idea, although not as festive. We went to the office yesterday and in about 2.5 seconds he had four GLASS ornaments off the tree!

Quinn's Christmas program

Quinn had a Christmas program at school this week. They sang many Christmas songs, and did a fantastic job! She smiled at Gimmie and I in the audience and knew every word! So sweet!

The Nutcracker

Getting ready for our FairyTale Lunch

Hadley, Quinn, Kristy and I went to see the Nutcracker again this year. We began with the Sugarplum Fairytale Lunch, which was delicious (but small...we were sooo hungry!) and we got to meet all of the dancers. Quinn and Hadley got a ballet slipper necklace as a souvenir. The performance was wonderful, and Thalia Mara was a gorgeous place to see it. Quinn's favorite part was the Spanish Dancers.

Snow!

We got a special treat one night....SNOW! We watched it come down Friday night, then played in it Saturday morning. We also decorated the house for Christmas, listened to Christmas music, and drank egg nogs. "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!"

Christmas Parade 2009

Family picture in front of the tree at the office before the parade began. It was especially cold this year, so we had to really bundle up!
Totem pole of fun...three girls!

Quick cat-nap before all the fun begins...the fire engine sirens woke him up.

Milk and Cookies with Santa

Quinn loved Santa, Tyndale was not so sure...
Here is Quinn asking Santa for a Baby Achoo, an ice-cream maker, and some rolling luggage.

We tried our hardest to get a cousins shot...out of many pictures, THIS was the best! Oh well!

Thanksgiving in Disney!

Getting ready to go to Magic Kingdom for the first time! You can see the Contemporary and the Monorail line in the back.
Here we are on the Monorail, excited about the day ahead!
