Making cookies

Here are a couple of shots of Quinn while we attempted to make cookies today. My first shot at making decorative Christmas cookies....sure wish someone had told me to add extra flour to the recipe BEFORE we worked so hard!! They didn’t turn out to be the prettiest, but we sure had fun working on them....and eating them!!

I'm a little teapot

This is for my family... wow do I remember singing the heck out of this song when I was a kid. I think it was mandatory at every family party!

Cookies with the Claus's

Today, the girls and I had our second visit with Santa. We were able to sit with both Santa AND Mrs Claus, we decorated cookies, danced, and did some art & crafts

What a great time!! The reindeer balloon didn’t end up so good, popped and traumatized our Quinny Quinn but we went back to “the man” and he made her a nice flower to take home. Also, Quinn was once again starstruck by Santa. It is just like in the movie “The Christmas Story”, she practices and practices what she will say to him. Then she gets up there and freezes! She gets a big smile on her face and just nods and says “yes” to everything he says. So cute, and I just know she will get the hang of it one of these days!

The Girls

Love this.... nothing special, but at the same time so precious! This is what we do after naptime, just kick back & play in Quinn’s room (I’m usually doing laundry while they play. Quinn is usually up dancing & Kathryn is usually watching & laughing. I was able to catch the end of this cute moment--sorry I missed the entire song!

Gingerbread House

Gingerbread House!

Well, to say Quinn is proud of her gingerbread house is a bit of an understatement. Anyone who has walked into the house since we made this has had to admire it with her. We had so much fun making it-- and the best part of all for Quinn??? Eating the gumdrops ;)
