Merry Christmas and So Much More!!

The last few weeks have been a little chaotic. We started Christmas celebrations as early as the 15th and still aren't done.  I have so many pictures to share, and so little time. so it goes.

Cameron turned 4 months old on the 15th. We had his doctors appointment on the 17th and he's doing great! He weighed in at 16 pounds 4 ounces (65%), and is 25 3/4 long (74%). Needless to say, he's eating great and growing like a weed.





Both Carrie and I saw a picture idea on Pinterest and decided to recreate it. I think the adults had more fun with it than the kids, though they didn't seem to mind.






Jeremy turned the big 3-4 roughly 10 days ago. Nancy came over and made us goulash - One of Jeremy's favorite meal.


We had Christmas with the Morano clan a couple weekends ago. It's always so fun to see how big the kids are getting and watch them interact.
Hanging with the big kids - hoping to get sips of Grandma's pop.



Playing with Nolan

We've seen Santa a few times this year. Only once did Quentin sit on Santa's lap (and that was only after promising him a chocolate shake). We had breakfast with Santa a couple weekends ago as well, and Quentin only wanted to look at him. Cameron, however, had no problems sitting on his lap.


Quentin had his Christmas program at daycare. Cameron was sick, so I stayed home with him, while Jeremy went. Jeremy recorded it for me, and Q was quite the entertainer. I'll post the video soon. They sang a song about penguins, and wore hats. It was pretty cute!


We got a foot of snow a few days ago and most of it is still here. Huge thanks to the neighbors who helped Jeremy shovel and snow blow us out.



While daddy was outside, we were playing inside. 

Q also enjoyed watching! 


Bobbie and Dylan came to town this past weekend. We had a ton of fun playing outside. We had planned to make a snowman, but the snow just crumbled when we picked it up. So, maybe next snow fall will be better snowman snow. 







We spent Saturday night at grandma GG's house with the Mohler clan.  Q loves playing with grandmas toys.



My mom thought it would be a good time to get a family picture. And, I must say, it might be the best family picture ever!! 

if you click on the picture, it will enlarge it. And don't ask
why Cameron is pant-less. 

Q woke up with a fever in the middle of the night Saturday. So we canceled plans on Sunday and played low key - We did manage to make a project for his teachers, which was some mugs Q decorated, and then we filled them with chocolates. Thanks to Pinterest for the idea. Quentin loved coloring with markers.

They have the teachers name on them, and some scribbles.
We had to bake them for a half hour for all the artwork
to stay though. 
Christmas Eve, Q and I stayed home while Jeremy and Cameron went to the Radach's. I was super bummed to not be able to go, but I have a cold from hell, and Quentin's fever was still lingering. I know Quentin didn't feel well when he went and got his blanket and a book at 6:30 and was very excited to get into his pajamas. He was in bed by 7, and we completely forgot to put out the cookies we'd made for Santa. 

Christmas morning Quentin woke up fever free, but was still alittle groggy. It quickly changed when he realized Santa had came and he had presents to open.

The Lego Train is by far his favorite thing that Santa brought
him. 


He was pretty stoked about the bike too. It's now in the
basement for practice this winter. 

Quentin helped pick out this ball for Cameron, which was
super cute, but now thinks it should be his. 





Cameron loves the bumbo! 
 I'm home with Cameron today, who had a little bit of a fever this morning, but is laughing and playing now. I think he just wanted to hang out with me all day. I'll try to post the video of Quentin's program a little later today.

Life Is Good!

Jeremy and I both have been working a ton the last couple weeks - hence the lack of posts. Of course I've still been taking a ton of pictures.

Around the house happenings:


All bundled up! 

Quentin always wants to read a book
when Jeremy or I are holding Cameron. 
Quentin's fake smile. 

Quentin continues to sit on the toilet several times, but
still has never gone. :( 







Around Thanksgiving, we met up with Stella and Lena to see Santa at the science center. Neither of the kids really wanted to see Santa.

They got to make an ornament - Q chose
the penguin. 

Water out of a cup with a straw is much better
than out of a sippy cup. 

Both Stella and Q loved the train that went
around the tree.

Q was more interested in the presents
than Santa. 

Playing with rocks in the gift shop. 
Today we had Stella and Lena over. We made play-doh and christmas tree's out of sugar cones. I'm not sure if the kids enjoyed eating the frosting or m&m's more.







We had our first snow fall of the season on Sunday - I was hoping to get Q out to build a snowman, but too much of the snow had melted by the time he got up from his nap. Hopefully we'll have many opportunities to play in it this winter. Jeremy also finished putting the lights up

One last picture.
