Baby's First Christmas

We spent Q's first Christmas in Phoenix this year. It was a nice, relaxing time with just our new immediate family. We had friends and family over for Christmas Eve dinner and then Grammy and Grumpy came over on Christmas morning too for a visit.

Scott found something for me...something I've been trying to find, for forever! A Star of David Christmas Tree Topper! Yeah for Christmakkah - Hanukkamas!

Quentin, making spirits bright with his holiday onsie!

Nicole and Zahria celebrated Christmas Eve with us!

Lots of love from Grammy this holiday season!

Quentin's adorable hat Nicole made for him. She was worried it might be too small, but with a little pin head like Q, small is good!

Bathtime!

A trip to Denver

We made another trip just a few weeks after Thanksgiving to Denver to celebrate aunt Melissa's graduation from her graduate program. It was a chilly but very fun trip and Quentin did great once again on the plane. Mom and dad are getting better and better at traveling with the little guy. Congrats aunt Melissa on a great accomplishment!!
