Christmas on Thanksgiving Day

Since Sarah and her family moved to Colorado we celebrated Christmas with the family during Thanksgiving since they are unsure of the weather up north.

We gathered at my in-laws house in Chouteau, OK for a meal then we gave our gifts to Sarah and her family, we saved the gifts for mom and dad and same thing with them because we will have our Christmas with them during Christmas day.

And for some unknown reason I don't have good pictures of the rest of the gang.

I guess Quentin and Rachel had a good conversation here.

Quentin's first hair cut

Quentin had his first hair cut at Pigtails and crewcuts in Fayetteville, AR.  He did great and didn't throw a fit at all.

After much prodding from his daddy that he needs to have a hair cut, I give in I just love his curls, but sometimes it just bothers him especially if the hair gets in his face he will try to blow it off away from his little face.

The night before he got his hair cut.

Daddy is taping the event as well.

 Sitting still and very cooperative.

I guess getting a hair cut makes this little fella sleepy.

What was he thinking?

With his new look after the hair cut, such a big boy.

Quentin the scooter boy

Quentin learned and preferred scooting to go places.  And here are some videos of it and I thought it was so cute and at some point I was worried because someone told me that he needs to learn to crawl for him to learn to read.

These videos were taken last August 18, 2012

Sesame Street Live: Elmo Makes Music 2012

It was the first time for the family to get to watch a live show and it was the Sesame Street Live: Elmo Makes Music at Fort Smith Convention Center.  Around this time Beatrice is really hooked up with Sesame Street especially with Bert and Ernie, thanks to daddy for reading tons of Sesame Street books and he is good at using the character's voice while reading the book.

Beatrice get up close and personal with Zoe.  And I think daddy is afraid that they will boot us out since we going after the character, I didn't get to take a picture of her with Bert.
