Jennifer's 365 Project

This year we're not doing anything special for New Year's Eve. We're letting the little guy run around, fall asleep, and then we're going to bed shortly after.

Here's hoping for a nice night of rest.

This little guy made out like a bandit for Christmas. Being the only grand child on both sides means a lot of toys. He's been enjoying them all. This one is a stuffed dog you can program to say his name and favorite food, color, and animal.

I'm not sure what is in that corner, but it's interesting and he's headed for it with his new stuffed animal from his Uncle Jeff.

I'm taking a rare walk at lunch to pick up something to eat before heading back. There is supposed to be a nasty storm this afternoon and evening so I'm working through lunch to leave early. It doesn't look bad yet, but it's just started.

Quinn is getting bigger all the time. We've started letting him walk around a little at the store when we go. He's getting much better about focusing on walking and not immediately wanting to grab things off of the floor.

He's still easily distracted though.

This weekend is all about studying. Study, study, study for a test early next month.

Quinn's first Christmas was fun! He slept better last night than he has in months (which is to say he slept for five hours, which at this point I'll take).

He had fun with all of his new presents, especially the tunnel that the cat thought was safe to lay in.
He had lots of fun chasing our new toy (Ollie). It lights up and moves around, which is fun to run after!

It's Quinn's first Christmas Eve! I had a half day at work so at noon we headed over to the east side of the state for celebrations!
 Quinn got to hang out with his Grandma Karath and uncle Scot.
 He also "helped" grandma with her Christmas gift.
 Uncle Jeff helped Quinn unwrap his gifts.
 And Quinn had a fun time running around in his elf costume.

No nap!

Chris Pfeiffer, Chris's good friend from childhood who now lives in China, is in town! So we headed over to my parents house to visit.
 The two Chris's went out for lunch and the rest of us hung out for a bit at my parents house.
 Quinn had a pretty good time seeing everyone and wandering around like a speed demon.
It was good to see Chris again. Since he lives so far away we don't see him often, but he's always fun to talk to.
