Some Pre-Christmas Happenings

We've been having a fun and busy pre-holiday season. My hope is that Quinn will learn the true meaning of Christmas while still having fun during a festive season. It's probably my favorite and now that we have a toddler, it has been soooo much fun! The joy in her eyes during this season has been contagious and I love it!

Breakfast with Santa at Quinn's School
We had fun eating pancakes, visiting w/ Q's favorite teachers and seeing Santa in real life. She's seen him on Christmas decor and she can say Ho, Ho, Ho, but this was her first real-life experience. As you can tell from the photos, she wasn't impressed.

Quinn was not impressed w/ Santa

Looking at Santa from afar.

Christmas Outfits (don't worry, she also has a smocked dress and velvet dress).

Precious headband/clip from Gingerpop!

I'm not ashamed to say I get a lot of Q's clothes from consignment stores. This dress was $4.

Visitor from London

David gets to come visit us from London about once a year. The last time Quinn saw him, she was only a week old! He brought a Peter Pan pop-up book (say that 10x fast) and she loved it.

Baby it's Cold Outside

It finally got kind of cold outside so she got to bust out her winter clothes including this precious track suit.

Christmas Stuff

Christmas shopping (for us and our adopted families in need) and Christmas decor with a toddler have been fun.

We went to get Christmas lights and Quinn found a little bicycle. It felt like her eyes were saying "Please tell Santa I want this."


So helpful w/ the decor on the "Quinn tree" upstairs.




All done! Quinn's tree is sparkly and perfect for her!

I got to reminisce at my sister's Christmas at Baylor concert. I can't believe it's been over 10 years since I was a freshman there!

I was kicking butt at the tables at the Volusion Christmas party. Too bad it wasn't real money!
