This year we went christmas light searching. We found this awesome Seahawks house! They also had UW, Sonics, Mariners and Sounders lights.

 We had lunch at Maltby Cafe, and he thought this little tent was awesome! Too bad each animal was like $300 bucks.

 I decorated a tree this year, but refused to put presents under it. I didn't want a certain 3 year old to start opening them. So i put all our presents in bags in our closet. This was taken a little prematurely. There were a lot more presents to add.

 More present pictures. The back of the car was completly full with presents.

 Sues Christmas tree with presents.

 I drove to Redmond to get him Gluten Free Vegan Sugar Cookies. He loved decorating them! It took him a little awhile to eat them though.

 

Christmas Eve tradition of new Pajamas! It was a Seahawk theme christmas. Except for Batman. 

 He walked around all night saying "Hey! I'm Batman"

 We left cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. Looks like Santa took them!

 Q has been asking for Buzzlight year. He was SO excited that Santa brought him. Grandma and Grandpa Dolder got him a Batman Bat Cave, and Grandma and Grandpa Corbett got him a richoett. He got clothes and other toys but those are his favorite!

 You know how some people cut their hair when they have kids? Well I will never do that, but i did need something easier to maintain. So I dyed my hair dark brown. I have been thinking about it for awhile and since Chelsea went to Hair School I went for it. I love it! And it makes getting ready easy. No more worrying about my hair grow out, or worrying that people can tell my hair is greasy.

For Christmas I got Eric a year of dates. Date 1 was going to the Sound of Music. It was AMAZING!! I loved everything about it and had to keep from singing along.

I had been thinking for awhile now that I wanted to teach piano but it never felt quite right. Maybe thats because I was pregnant, moving, having a baby, then having back surgery. 2015 has been crazy. But in December it started falling into place!

I contacted my old piano teacher,
and she said she was looking for a new piano teacher and offered me the position! I talked with Eric and we decided that it was a great opportunity, so we took it!

So I am looking for new students in the Bothell/Everett area! The youngest piano student at the studio is 4 years old, so you are never too young or to old to take a lesson. The other great aspect of this studio is there is the option for me to come to your home for your convenience or you can go to the studio for your lessons.

Along with teaching private lessons there are group lessons that I am starting as well.

This post is mostly a picture overload from Dec 1- Dec 20th. It has been a super crazy/busy/fun/stressful/great month. It started with check ups to the doctors. Both kids got shots. It was a really sad car ride home.

 Q is so big! We had 2 nurses. One was getting all of Q's vitals and 1 was helping Audrey.
 Matching gowns. Q thought it was great.

 Audrey and Quentin went Christmas shopping with me and my mom. Audrey has some great taste at Kate Spade.

 We went to the Lego Store and we left with the magazine. He sat in the stroller like this the rest of the time at the mall. This of course meant Audrey had to be carried.

 My dad had to buy a tux, so at Nordstrom they had reusable stickers. Of course Q didn't want to put them back in the book, he thought the mirrors would be better.

 We had our Christmas Tradition Pizza night at Pag. While we were there Bell Square was light up for the Seahawks.

 

Some of the christmas present damage. 

 More Christmas damage.

 Making dad and Grandpas Christmas present

 We also decorated Grandma Dolders Christmas Tree. He HAD to wear the elf hat. He is a silly kid.

 He was also organizing the tree.  All the same type ornaments had to be by each other.

 At our ward christmas party, Q decided he was part of the Primary and wanted to go sing.

 He didn't want to give up his spot on the stairs.

 

When Santa showed up Q ran away as soon as he walked in. But about 5 minutes later he was ready to go tell Santa what he wanted.

 He is such a good big brother.

 Audrey loves sitting up now and seeing what is going on around her. During dinner we put her in this chair and added some toys. She loved it.

 Dr. Quentin listening to Audreys heart. We listen to our hearts and lungs a lot in this house.

 She is a super happy girl.

 She also makes the funniest faces. This is the look of shock and disgust. "I cant believe you like that"

 The best Christmas party! Erics work rented out all of Lucky Strike in Bellevue and gave everyone tickets to play for 3 hours for free. We had SOOOOO much fun!!

 We were football players and basketball players.

 They also had these race cars that you took turns driving, but while you were driving your seat vibrated and moved to match the car. It was pretty fun.

 We had the entire Bowling room to ourselves. The screen is showing a winter blizzard. Eric wont at bowling, but I at least went above 100, so I'm happy.

 I went to a girls night sock exchange where you put in gifts in the socks and exchanged them without knowing what was in it. We also had amazing Fondue and great company. I love my friends!

 We had the BYU Bowl Game and so natually we had to put on our tatoos.

 Audrey had a clothing change because she spits up A TON. Both outfits were pretty cute.

My dad, brother and Eric flew down to Vegas for the game, and then flew home that night. I am so excited that they went!

Prepare for picture overload. I love holidays! I especially love going to Saint George. Eric and my parents both have houses down there, so we have gone every year. We were able to go down for an entire week. Well I was always going to go down that long, but Eric was able to take time off of work so he was there the entire time! Yay for extra help!

 One of the projects this year was putting rocks in the flower beds. Q was in rock heaven and was climbing on the pile all the time.

 We stay at my parents house when we go, and this year they bought a wagon.... and gave everyone a selfie stick.

 The have a waterfall in the neighborhood that we walked to just so Q could throw rocks in it. Maybe I should just get him rocks for Christmas

 At Erics parents/Grandparents house he loved hiding behind this plant. Every time we went over. He would jump out and scare you. Or giggle incessantly while you looked for him.

 Pre Thanksgiving dinner. I thought the plates were adorable!!

 Q and Ellie having lunch together. They will best friends.

 Q learning to take a selfie. I am only teaching him the important things.

 Grandma Corbett and Audrey selfie.

 Q and mom Selfie

 Most Q and Ellie selfies. Audrey on Grandmas lap.

 One of the days we decided to drive up to snow. Because why not?

 It was SOOOOOOOO COLD! The wind was so high they closed the skiing resort.

 Also because it was so cold the snow was more like a hard rock of snow.

 Quick selfie before we all ran back inside the car. Eric, Q, Donald, Emma, Ellie and Me. Audrey was asleep in the car.

 SO COLD!

 More selfies.

 Like I said, hard rock of Ice.

 Back in the car trying to get warm.

 My parents bought Q a ricochett car in the San Jose house, and had another one delievered to the Saint George house. He LOVES this thing! His favorite is when it drives up someones leg.

 A boy and his Grandpa Corbett. So much love!

 The day finally came that the rock pile had to go away. Q had his own little shovel to help.

 Every time I see this photo I want to start singing "I ho, I ho, its off to work I go"

 Q's little Thanksgiving table. He decorated it with the pomegrante himself.

 After Thanksgiving we all made pies. I made a Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake. IT WAS AMAZING! It is so easy to make! I just need a reason to make it! Guess I need to go to more parties. Or start throwing them myself.

 These were all the pies. Not enough people to help eat them!

 I love when he falls asleep in the car like this. It is just so funny. Sadly the trip had to  come to an end. Sometimes I wish we could live in Saint George. I love my cousins and family that are down there and its so fun to spend time with them. But then I fly into Seattle and see all the beautiful lakes and green trees and I remember I would miss this too much.

At the Las Vegas Airport he decided he wanted to join a different family. This mom was reading a Frozen book to her daughter and he thought it was amazing. Silly kid.
