It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

As a result of this blog you all now know what I do when I am supposed to be working on my portfolio that is due on Monday, blog!! Hey its' already 89 pages long (no joke), so I figured I earned the right.
Let me tell you how excited we are for this Christmas season. Q loves our tree, Santa (she calls him Ho Ho), Snowmen, and Christmas lights. Knock on wood, she still hasn't broken an ornament.
She's in her "Ho, Ho Dress".
This was the second choice picture for our Christmas card, so it had to make the blog.
I have been quite impressed with her, all she does is touch the ornaments and tell them they are "pitty" (pretty), but she still has yet to take them off the tree (knock on wood again).

Yesterday we went to "Christmas on the Corner" at Hebron with Heather, James, and Harris, and besides being extremely cold it was a wonderful experience. James at his finest.
A cute group shot.

They had train rides, a live nativity, Christmas caroling, marshmallow roasting, and great animal characters. Q talked a big game when it came time to ride the train, but as soon as she got on she was telling me no! We managed the ride and after all was said and done I think she had fun.
An action shot of riding the train, it wasn't that long, but it was all Q could handle.

We also tried to get her picture taken with Rudolph, but all she could do was say "no, no, no" when we were standing next to him. Notice her face, her lips are poking out because she is screaming "No" at him!

When B tried again with the Christmas Mouse it was even worse. All in all it was a great time and I pray that all who were there got the massage that Christmas is about more than presents, but about the birth of Jesus (I'll get off my soapbox now).

On a sad note our favorite neighbors ever moved to Nashville this week. It was a great opportunity for Chris as a youth minister, but we are going to miss them and their new little baby Mary Lindsey is going to have in February. Q would go over to visit ML's every day, so here is a little glimpse of them with the rascal before they left.
She really does love them even though the picture shows otherwise.

Q decided she would share Mary Lindsey's oranges with her.

For those of you who endured and made it to the bottom of this post, congrats, and here is a recent family picture and a funny site in which we "elfed" ourselves (B is not a huge fan of this because his elf has boobies!) Check it out, Q can do a mean robot! http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=1220147290
