Christmas at the Quinns and Grandma Q & Paul Jr's Birthdays

We celebrated Christmas a little early at my in laws since the holidays are a crazy time in our family. It was really nice to spread it out too so Emme wasn't opening a million things on Christmas Day. We also did my mother in law's and Paul Jr's birthday too so they got to have an extra celebration day!

Emme's favorite part of any party- the dessert! Hmm wonder who she gets that from! 

Annual Holiday Card Crapshoot er... I mean photoshoot!

So it took 6 adults, a whole bag of doggie treats and loads of patience to get the fnal shots for my parents' annual holiday card. My dad managed to fall on the floor and not break anything and no one ended up killing any other human or animal although it was close. There was minimal swearing however but much less than last year. Here are a few of my favorite oopsie shots!

 Jerry "STAY, no kisses thank you!"

 No Emme you stay too!

Emme giving Smartie a shot!

Um Brody- you are supposed to be sitting not trying to get Tom to play with you.

We can't wait until next year when we add two more babies and ?? more dogs to this photo! Yes that's right I am due in February and Jeanine is having a baby and due in August!!! Kevin is already having anxiety over next year's shot! 

What a Goofball

 Happy Thanksgiving! We are so excited that my father in law is home from the hospital. We celebrated Thanksgiving this year at my in laws and everything was so wonderful. As you can see Emme has decided that shoes are one of her favorite things. I hate to tell her we won't be able to afford the Jimmy Choos though!

Happy Birthday Uncle Dom

We celebrated Dom's birthday tonight with delicious dinner and a lot of fun. The girls always have so much fun together.

Halloween Fun

We had tons of fun this Halloween now that Emme can enjoy it a little more! SHe had a blast at her two Halloween parties at school, a Halloween visit to the Cortlandt Farm Market, and trick or treating at Aunt Jeanine's and Uncle Kevin's and with Mommy and Daddy. This made for a ton of candy for Mommy um I mean Emme! Baby Quinn will be born on a sugar high for sure!

Missing Daddy

Someone decided that she was very upset Daddy had to work late so she went into his drawer and pulled out a shirt and said "Daddy shirt, Emme put a on." So what could I say?

Roo comes to visit

My agility friends are all on their way to Kentucky with their dogs for the Nationals. I would have liked to go but it would have been difficult taking time off from work and I really only have one dog that I could compete with. Jerry is still too wacko to run competitively. So instead I offered to dog sit my friend Lauren's special needs dog Roo. Roo fit right in at my house and Emme was so excited. She loves all animals and loved having crazy Roo all to herself.
