December Traditions

We continued with our December traditions again this past year. We started them off right with going to the mountains to cut down our Christmas tree and got our best one yet. We did lots of baking, creating of crafts and introduced Buddy the Elf to our home. We also enjoyed the Davidson Christmas parade again and riding the train through the lights at one of our favorite parks and seeing the model trains as well as seeing Santa (which Ellie had no apprehension about, she just jumped on his lap and started telling Santa exactly what she wanted). We also enjoyed lots of playtime and going to dinner and seeing the Christmas lights with the Cook family for the 6th year in a row. But most memorable of all was that we got to spend all of these times with Quinny for the first time!

Such great pictures! If Quinny follows after you, those two fingers will be in her mouth till she's 5! Too cute! Ellie looks so precious and happy. You and Ben are such good parents to them. What a blessing!
