Christmas

Here are the cookies that we left out for Santa along with his milk and some cereal for the deer :)


Here is what Quinn came down to find!

She got lots of books, teddy bear magnets, a DVD of Max and Ruby and a digital camera!



She needed to take pictures of everything!! (Including the trashcan!)

Rockin around the Christmas tree...

Here is our beauty. It has to be up high so that Gilbert won't knock it over.

Our little girl loves Christms so much. We still watch Christmas movies in the summer and sing Christmad songs year round. This Christmas Quinn fully knows what is going on and it will be so much fun. It already is. We didn't have a big tree before this year. But, when we brought this beauty home- Quinn was in awe. She was running around the house yelling about how beautiful our tree is and thanking us over and over again.

I love this time of year so much.

Aquarium

A few fridays ago, (Dan's last day off) we went to the Baltimore Aquarium. We had so much fun looking at all of the sea creatures. Quinn loved the turtles and the sharks the most.

This is when Quinn saw one of the Aquarium employees diving in the tank to clean.

She thought it was a mermaid.

I loved this guy the most.

Sorry this pictures are all so bad. it is reaaaaallly tough to get a good picture in the dark and through glass!

Fall Fun

While Dan was on "vacation" he raked the yard. Before he started the backyard, he put a HUGE pile at the base of Quinn's big slide. She seriously was in heaven. I took a thousand pictures. Here are just a few that show her excitement. Ok, maybe a bit more than a few but they were so hard to limit.

The day after. One Long Day

The day after Thanksgiving, we woke up at Dad and Annette's house. We had our second Thanksgiving dinner there and it was delicious! We had a great time hanging out. Quinn just loves Zelda and Zana or as Quinn calls her, "Squirt-muffin".

Then we met up with my Grandma Temple, Rachel, Tracy, and Annie to head over to Ronny's.

It is the Christmas store that we would go to every year and Grandma Temple would give us $5.00 to get whatever our heart desired. I would always get something "lovely" and Rich would get some wierd lights; every year. We have tried to keep us the tradition for Quinn as well. I think that she loves it just as much as Rich and I did. (Dan just thinks that we are strange! hehe)

Quinn was in awe of these Frostys.

Daddy and Quinn loved watching the trainset.

Quinn and Annie spent a lot of time trying to pick out the perfect ornament.

On the way home from Dover to Baltimore, we stopped by NorthEast and visited MomMom and PopPop along with Quinn's cousins.

They have so much fun playing silly games.

Lastly, our cousin Julia came down from Philly to spend the night and hang out the next day!

We went antiquing in Ellicott City. Fun Fun Fun!

Daddy and Quinn were getting a little tired after a while.

Then Daddy found THIS:
