Happy Birthday Evan

Quinn & Evan have been friends for quite some time. Here is a picture early in the friendship, January 2007, at their first Itsy Bitsy Yoga class. They were about 6 weeks old. See how they have grown and changed...

Evan was happy to see Quinn.

Charlie, Evan, and Quinn all have November birthdays.
At one point during the party, I was not sure where Quinn was. I heard hear laughing, and then found her at the top of the stairs with Evan and the dogs.

Evan really appreciated his cake and everyone singing to him!

Of course, Quinn was the last one sitting at the table...still eating HUGE mouthfuls of cake.

Quinn thought her buddy needed some help opening gifts.

I think he had it pretty under control though!

Happy Birthday Evan!

Love,

Quinn

Happy Birthday Ellie!

Quinn was invited to Ellie's Second Birthday Party.

She was so excited to help her celebrate, all day long she kept saying "party, Ellie".

Ellie, Quinn, & Baylan had fun looking at the Elmo cake and enjoying their special appetizers before a pizza party dinner.

Ellie did a great job blowing out her candle. The two girls enjoyed their cake.
Happy Birthday Ellie!

Love,

Quinn

Happy Thanksgiving

Quinn, Aunt Lauren and I went to the Turkey Trot. We saw alot of people we knew, and Quinn had fun cheering the runners on, especially Aunt Rie.

Quinn was very excited to have family over for Thanksgiving dinner. The dinner went very well, and everyone seemed to have a great time.

Quinn's favorite part of the meal was the amazing cheesecake Uncle Jay made!

Night Night Time

In preparation for the baby, we have been trying to get Quinn to sleep in her new bed. She is slowly making progress.

After her bath the other night, she thought it would be a good idea to put on her boots (all by herself on the correct feet) and go shopping!

Quinn is TWO!

Quinn turned two years old today. We had a family party on Sunday and she had a great time. She was a lucky little girl to receive so many thoughtful gifts.

Quinn is starting to really enjoy posing for the camera. When I say, "Quinn look at me", this is the face I get.

When I say Quinn, "Smile", this is what she does. She doesn't resemble Dan at all?!

Checking out her "Piggies" in the mirror.

Carefully watching grandpa Tom and Dan put up a ceiling fan in her new bedroom.

Leaves

We spent the morning raking leaves in our backyard. Quinn had a blast jumping in the leaf piles.

She also had fun "helping" Dan rake

and put the leaves in the bag.

She is one happy kid, we are so lucky!

November Birthdays

Many of Quinn's close friends share a November birthday with her. She thought it would be fun to paint and color a card for them. She really got into the paint!

After a bath she was all ready to go to the birthday party for Matteo and Giacomo.

She had a lot of fun playing with Charlie! It was his birthday too!

Quinn is looking forward to her own birthday very soon! She also can't wait to celebrate with her buddy Evan!
