As promised

As promised...here is my post about Christmas before Valentines Day! I thought since Valentines Day was only 4 days away I better make an attempt to keep my promises.  Christmas was especially fun this year with Quintin! I don't think he totally got the idea of it, but I am sure he will before we know it! He got some pretty neat gifts and so did Robert and I. We started the morning off by going to church, which as a side note was a pretty awesome way to start Christmas off! After church we came home and changed into comfy clothes and opened gifts so that we could then get Q down for a nap since Sundays are hard on the little guy due to his nap and feeding schedule being thrown slightly off. After we got the little guy down Robert and I enjoyed our Christmas brunch of caramel french toast...and if you were wondering if it was any good...let me just tell you it was pretty much the best thing we have ever had! Once we were finished with brunch we started preparing our dinner feast..we had a new couple in our ward over for dinner with their 18 month old daughter. We served ham, double stuff potatoes, asparagus, salad, rolls, and cranberry vanilla bread pudding. I felt bad for Quintin..he was the only one at the table who couldn't have any...he eyed all of our plates the whole night! Christmas 2011 brought a ton of great memories and great fun!

Here is a video of Quintin attempting to get the hang of opening his gifts...ignore my voice in the video. I HATE the way I sound in videos..I sound like I am 10 years old!

Waiting for dad to put the camera down so we can dive in!

We love our stained concrete floors but Quintin doesn't quite have the same love for them as we do, so Santa brought him some foam puzzle mats for the hard floors. Since he is a roller and scooter now he loves them,and it has significantly lowered my anxiety about him being on our hard floors and the possibility of a TBI (traumatic brain injury) because of them! Yes..I am a slightly paranoid mom (hard to tell right???)

Quintin has become a Baylor fan...for Christmas we gave him some Baylor PJ's-dang he's cute!

Notice the spoon in his hand...he loves chewing on my cooking spoons and rubber spatulas!

I have a ton of random cute pictures I need to post....stay tuned!
