Getting Ready for Christmas

We have had a fun & exciting month. At the beginning of December Quinn was very excited to get out her advent calendars. The one pictured below is one Ollie made. Every morning Quinn loves to put a piece on the tree!
Nonnie also gave Quinn and Owen this fun way to count down the days until Christmas. Each day they open a bag to find a little treat!
Quinn is also enjoying finding "Zart" our Elf on the Shelf who flies to the North Pole nightly to report to Santa!
A few weekends ago we made our annual trip to Elber's to find the "perfect" tree.

I also took Quinn and Owen to the outdoor ice skating rink downtown to see the tree lighting.
Lolo was there doing her thing!
Owen really wished he could go out and skate!
Quinn did a wonderful job decorating the tree!
Last weekend we went to my parents house for a fun holiday lunch and on Sunday we went to Leftbank for brunch with Dan's family! And on Saturday night, Lauren, Quinn, and I made tons of Christmas cookies.
helping roll the dough for the cut-outs
rolling the cookies in sugar
pizza break
since Owen did not help bake, he provided us with entertainment


This weekend we are looking forward to seeing Santa at the zoo and going to see the BPO at Kleinhans!!
