Christmas 2011 Part 2

A few videos:

Christmas 2011

This year we had a wonderful Christmas in the Quinn household.  Kim was working once again, but fortunately Christmas fell on a Sunday when she doesn't work.  Evan would get 5 times more than he needed due to the generosity of his family.  And Santa was able to get everything he needed in time, and even got 6 hours of sleep on Christmas Eve. What was extra special this year was the welcome visit of Uncle Matt, who arrived by train Christmas Eve.  We celebrated Christmas Eve nostalgia with a little B&B before Santa made his appearance.  It was great to have some of my family here for the holiday.  This will probably be the last year for awhile that Evan sleeps soundly through the night, too.  Next year, he's likely to be restless with anticipation.

Christmas Cookies

The holiday festivities continued with our decision to make sugar cookies and decorate them.

Evan's 2nd Birthday

Evan's second birthday was December 8, 2011. For his party, we kept it a little smaller this year and held it at Kid City, a children's play-place where all of the rooms have different interactive areas: a kitchen/diner with all sorts of plastic food, a rubber fish processing plant, complete with conveyors, and so much more.  For his actual birthday, with it being a weeknight, we just had him open his numerous gifts send from abroad.  He has been enjoying them ever since.  We filmed some of it.
