Christmas!

We had a great Christmas. We just stayed at home and watched movies and played games. Very relaxing. It was especially nice because Quincey was so entertained the whole day long with all of his new toys.

Maiya and her new Cabbage Patch Doll

Maiya loves her new doll! Here she is playing with it.

Pre-Christmas Fun

Quincey helped me with the holiday baking Here we were making cinnamon rolls and dinner rolls... They were my first try and they turned out a hit! I only got to eat like one cinnamon roll, because my boys ate em up so fast. And Quincey has been lining up his cars in front of the Christmas tree, like he knows that there are supposed to be toys underneath. And of course, you can tell Miss Maiya is so excited for Christmas.

Christmas dress

Thanks to Danette, Maiya got to dress up so pretty for Christmas. It is so fun to dress up a baby girl.

Last Christmas

It was fun to do a little picture rewind and see what we all used to look like last year!!! Wow, how much Q changed in a year. His hair sure has lightened up. It surprised me to see how dark it was. It was also fun to remember how much fun we had at the Parker house last year. Even though the trip was awful and we vowed to never do that again. What did your Christmas look like last year?

Christmas around town

This was a couple of weeks ago, but I thought I would share these pictures. The local college had one night where they filled the campus with Luminarias (paper bags filled with sand to hold it down, and a lit candle). I had never seen them before, so for me it was pretty neat. Quincey sure liked it too. What sold me most was the hot chocolate we got for free while walking around.
