Preschool Christmas Program

The Quinlan Boys walking into their rooms before the program! two were so excited and one...not so much.

Gavin sitting on the stands....at this point, I wasn't sure if he was going to participate.

oh...but when the music started this little performer came alive! He hopped up as fast as his chubby little two year old legs would allow and got to jingling his bells to Jingle Bells!

When it was over Gavin gave a little cheer for himself. Ha.

I thought that maybe after watching the littlest Quinlan be so brave that my oldest, who looked oh so handsome I could eat him up, might change his mind and go to his classroom to prepare. Not so much.

Enter Liam. Just like in the spring program last May, little Liam just stood up there looking like the cool cat he is -- but with reindeer antlers on his head. He is on the top row, second from the left (that is his favorite girl, Abby, next to him -- gosh, he loves that girl but that's another post).

Oh Liam. He says that he sang. I don't believe it. But, at least he was up there!

My three handsome boys after the big night!

Gavin Turned 2

He still looks like a baby; but, boy can looks be deceiving! This little guy has acted like a 4 year old for about 6 months now. Only fitting that he has a birthday to officially increase his age....to 2! I have heard the saying "The days are long, but the years are short." That sure does ring true tonight. I cannot beleive that my littlest baby boy is a two year old. This spunky, lovable, hilarious, demonstrative, sweet, tractor-loving boy is a two year old.

From December 3rd until January 4th, we have chronological ages --2, 3, and 4. LOVE.

Opeing gifts.

Taking a time out from opeing to play with his new garage, cars, and keys set.

Singing to our two year old who didn't really want to be sung to.

Baby Gavers LOVED his Ireland soccer ball!

So excited to get some Thomas books from GA Julie. We stopped to read each of them before opeing more.

Eeek! A piano! He was so excited to play it we couldn't even get it out of the box!

My family is full of like-mindedness. Here's proof. The top two cards are from GG and Grammie. The bottom two from Great Aunts Dona and Julie. Made me giggle.

Owen wrapped the gift he gave Gavin all by himself ;-) Not pictured is Gavin's excitement over the contributions to his college fund (thanks to Chippie, Grandpa Tex, and Aunt Dona and the promise of a gift to be given at his birthday party by Grammie & Pa + two dollars to spend in the meantime at Sonic). LOL my mom cracks me up.
