Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween, Quinn!

Here you are as Maria Von Trapp from your favorite movie, The Sound of Music!

 

I think this photo would make a nice album cover

Fall Fun

Dear Quinn,
You have been having so much seasonal fun lately! In the past two weekends you have enjoyed a pumpkin carving party, your birthday party, a trip to Linvilla Orchards, a neighborhood fall festival and a football party at Grammy and Pop-Pop's house. There is much more fun to come - bring on Halloween!

Happy Birthday Quinn!

Dear Quinn,
Even though your birthday is not until Thursday, we had a small dinner party for you at the apartment on Sunday night. All your favorite people were there - your grandparents and aunts and uncles - even Aunt Jo and Uncle Chris attended via Skype!

The theme was The Sound of Music, since that is your favorite movie. You were very excited about all the decorations, balloons, and most especially - the cake. 

You were such a good little guest of honor. All week we practiced what to say when you open a present, "I love it!" You were very polite and said thank you to everyone who gave you a gift. We are so proud of you and how you behaved at the party.

Thank you so much to everyone who came over at the last minute to celebrate with us!

Our Skype guests!
