Merry Christmas!

Here are a few pictures from our Christmas travels.  First, we went to Delaware, where we went to Christmas Eve Service, and enjoyed wonderful food and fellowship with family.  On Christmas Day we opened presents from Santa, and ate more food, of course.  The next day, we left for Tennessee.  We traveled all over the state visiting family (and eating food).  It was wonderful to spend the holidays with family!

Look out, ladies!

Trains

Today we went to see the trains at Homestead Gardens.  He really enjoyed watching the trains (I regret that I didn't get any of the trains in the picture). Quinn also got to ride on a car and pet Ellie the cat.

Christmas fun!

While out walking one day, we saw a sign for a "Christmas Festival" at an elementary school in our town.  We decided to check it out, not expecting much.  To our surprise, there were lots of fun things to do.  Quinn got his picture taken with Santa:

OK, so maybe it wasn't so fun for him.  He did, however, seem to enjoy the horse-drawn carriage ride:

He also enjoys throwing his "Little People" at the Christmas tree.  Have at it, kid.  If that's the worst thing you do to the Christmas decorations, we don't have much to worry about.  I have a video, but the blog won't let me upload it for some reason.

Quinn's second birthday

For Quinn's second birthday, we took him to the Maryland Science Center with some of our friends and their kids.  We had a wonderful time learning, playing, and just spending time making memories together. 

Still trying to figure out how to hold up 2 fingers

 A few of us braved the "bed of nails:"

There was a lot to see, hear, and do:

You are getting sleepy...

The water table was Quinn's favorite.  He spent almost an hour here.

He also enjoyed the "submarine:"

And "Newton's Alley:"

Afterwards, we went out for Pizza, and the kids said, "cheese!"

The cupcakes were a hit.  Quinn preferred his upside down, once he figured out the plate was not edible.  Emma enjoyed Quinn's icing.

What's wrong with this picture?

Happy Fall

Quinn loves to "tap dance" in piles of leaves.  In fact, he does this tap dancing quite often, but especially when he is standing on something that is different from the ground (like a manhole cover).  This picture was taken at daycare, so I wasn't there, but I'm pretty positive that he was tap dancing when the picture was snapped.
