Even though two out of three of us are still under the weather, the little one and I are on the mend and he's faring better than I am. So we headed across the state for a visit we already had planned with grandparents.
Grandpa Karath gave Quinn his Christmas gift, which is a fun race bendable racetrack. Quinn loves it and spent a lot of time watching the car race around the track.
In the late afternoon we headed to my parents house to spent some time there as well. Quinn showed off the racetrack Grandpa Karath gave him and had a fun time with Uncle Jeff.

It has been a busy day! Today we took Quinn to Snip-Its for his first haircut. He did really well sitting in the chair. Waiting his turn was another matter, however. We really need to work on patience.
In the afternoon our friend Corinne came over. We enjoyed lunch, talked about random stuff, and in general had a great time catching up.
She bought him a cool R2D2 bento box for Christmas, which he tried to feed cheese to. In the evening before bed I finished up the another fitted sheet. This one is tractors, since he's a big fan of anything with wheels. The Christmas ornament he picked out last month was also a John Deere tractor, so we thought he'd enjoy these.

Its in the high 50s today, which means the weather is just gorgeous. I'm still getting over a cold and coughing everywhere, but that didn't stop us from going to the park this afternoon.
I also got to try out my new transition lenses. They came in last week but I finally picked up my new glasses today. It's been years since I've had them. They seem to be working!

On Saturday while my parents were watching Quinn, Chris and I went out and picked up a new laptop for me. My old one is a nice Dell XPS, but it's about 10 years old and struggles to do a few things. The battery is also pretty terrible. While I could have bought a new battery, upgrading to a newer laptop was preferable.
Plus it's a 2 in 1, so the hinge works both ways. Switching it into tablet mode makes it an unwieldy windows tablet. It's fun to play with, but 13 inches is too large for a tablet for day to day use.

We watched our first movie with Quinn this afternoon. Up until this point we've watched a few short (30 minute) holiday specials, but today we watched Frozen. He loved it. He sat through over an hour of the movie, captivated by the singing and animation. He finally lost interest near the end, but considering he's never watched for that long without running around simultaneously, he did wonderfully. He's definitely a big fan.

Snow is an excellent excuse to try out the waterproof case Chris purchased for my pixel. My Samsung S5 was waterproof, so I would use it in the rain and snow without much concern. The Pixel is not. It's resistant (although not officially) but I don't want to risk such an expensive device. So I tried out this case.
It's a little difficult to hit the buttons on the side, but other than that it works perfectly. Of course the issue is that my winter gloves aren't compatible with touchscreens. I'll have to sew some conductive thread into the fingers and thumbs so the touch screen is usable.

My parents gave us a Costco membership for Christmas this year. The card arrived over this weekend so we went out first thing this morning to sign up.
Quinn had a lot of fun and enjoyed some of the samples at the various food stations. There are definitely some things that are cheaper there than at Meijer, so I look forward to stocking up in bulk on some things, including the animal crackers they sell that Quinn loves.
