Thanksgiving

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. Ours was really great. Here are some pictures from our day!

This was the first turkey I had ever made. It came out really well and I was so proud! Everyone said it tasted great. Go me!

Ross even got busy in the kitchen, frosting the cake I made.

Here he is carving the turkey, he was quite busy.

Quinn was happy about all the yummy food he got to enjoy.

Our family!

Quinn, Tiffany, and Hailey...Quinn is quite the ladies' man!

21 Months!

You read that right, Quinn is 21 months old today! That means he is 1 year 9 months old. It also means in a scant 3 months he will be 2. Gah. So scary and cool at the same time. It wasn't the easiest getting a picture with him today, but letting him hold his book made him happy. He is really into books lately, which I think is wonderful. He will bring me book after book to read to him and he'll even look through them himself and talk and laugh. It is so cute!

Yesterday we had a playdate with our friends Tasha and Beckett. The picture below is from that picnic. Quinn and Beckett had fun playing at the park, coloring, and eating. It is always great to see Quinn interact with other kids.

Look, I can be crafty!

So I'm not the craftiest person around, so I felt the need to show off my recent crafting attempts. I made this wreath to hang on our door for Christmas. It is pretty basic, but still cute. I'm a red/green/silver/white Christmas person, and I don't branch out, so this fits me perfectly.

I got this plain cotton bag as a welcome bag at a wedding I went to in November 2007. I dug it out a few weeks ago and decided to use it as Quinn's library book bag. I got some fabric markers and stenciled this Q. I'm going to let him color on it himself, but I thought the Q came out pretty good.

And since Quinn is so cute, here is a picture of him and his new friend, Breleigh. He is definitely not feeling her reach!

A Quick Update

Well, not too much going on here. Just getting ready for Christmas (yikes, already?) as much as I can. Ross has been working pretty steadily, which is good of course. Quinn and I continue to go to storytime, have some playdates, and just learn as much as possible everyday. Quinn is still kind of slow on the talking, but he does know 21 body parts and a lot of animal noises. You should see his elephant, it is adorable!

A couple weeks ago Ross and I decided to go to Epcot for the last day of Food and Wine. It was a nice afternoon, a little windy, but not too hot. Below is Ross being scandalous, but at least its nothing as bad as what he has done in the past!


And since everyone likes a cute picture of Quinn, here is one from today. He climbed into the laundry basket and was just his adorable self.
