Tis the Season

Once again too much time has past with too much going on so here is our mass update.

We went to the town tree lighting. Here is Quinnie and Mommy bundled up ready to go.

We aren't so impressed with our "tree" but B loves lights so he get excited every time we drive by. 

 Branson's new hat. Do you think he likes it?!

Branson loves helping out around the house. Josh was cleaning the bathroom and B was more than willing to help. 

Quinn turned 3 months old on the 2nd. Maybe one of these times I will put her picture up on the actual day. Quinnie continues to fit right into our family. Her sweet, mellow personality is the complete opposite of her brother. We love how they balance each other out and Josh likes to comment how all types of personalities will make us a great "team" (see what I mean about being thankful basketball is over, he was eating, sleeping and living basketball last month).

We have a very special lady in our lives and she has been spoiling us lately. Grandma Leslie has outfitted us for Christmas and she even came over to help us decorate. I will take a picture of our finished tree and put it up soon.

B loved playing in the boxes.

My poor daughter. She loves to watch Brother play and Branson loves to play on the bed. He carries all his trucks in to our room and can play for hours. I love that I can prop up Quinnie on the bed and she is entertained. However, far to often when I check on them I find something like this:

 He really does love his hat.

 I really wanted to take B to Leavenworth to see the lights, but I didn't want to face the crowds with a 2 year old an and infant. So, we decided to go on a Tuesday night after work. It worked out perfectly. We ate dinner at "South" and by the time we were finished most of the shops were closed which means the streets were almost empty. We wandered around main street looking at lights and popped in a few shops to warm up. We think we started a new Christmas tradition. Leavenworth without the crowd worked for us.

We went into Starbucks to get a coffee and B picked out a treat for himself. A few days later we went to Starbucks with Dave and Kathy and B walked right in and said "Pink Pop." Good thing we don't go there often since he picked up on the treat idea right away.

Last weekend Sean (one of the guys that Josh did his senior project with in college) got married. We made a whirlwind trip to The Dalles to help them celebrate. 

We are eagerly preparing for our upcoming trip to Nashville. I can't wait to see my sister and her "huge" belly and the cutest 1 year old around. We haven't all been together since Ben, Bethany and Charlie came out when Charlie was a few weeks old, so I guess I am a little excited to see the rest of my family too. I don't think Baby Girl is going to arrive to make my Christmas complete (but a girl can hope right?!), and it is already killing me that I am leaving my sister a week before my niece is born, so I am already checking out airfare so we can return to meet the little bundle soon.
