Life is A Journey...Come Follow Our's: Our Holidays...Part 2

The holidays always seem to pass by so fast. Before we knew it, we were re-packing the car and heading even further north to Wisconsin. Unlike in years past, the weather in Wisconsin was beyond pleasant...nice enough to run outside...now that's unheard of at this time of year.

We got up to Wisconsin on the 27th and went straight to meet Quinn's newest cousin, the four month old Teagan. Although he wasn't exactly sure what to think of her at first, he did find a friend in his older cousin Grant right away. It was so fun to see Quinn giving him his toys and to watch and listen to Grant read to him. As the week progressed, Quinn became even closer with his cousins trying to feed Baby Teagan chocolate and oranges and playing with Grant and Reagan for hours at a time.

On the 28th, Kristie made a wonderful dinner and we celebrated the Pope Christmas. Of course there were tons of presents, lots of gift wrap to tear, and lots of fun to be had. Quinn spent the better part of his day throwing sheep and other stuffed animals down the stairs only to retrieve them, place them in a laundry basket, give them a quick ride and repeat. He especially loved that his cousins Grant and Reagan thought his game was as amusing as he did.

As always, the time passed way too fast. Like the say, time flies when you're having fun. The next thing we knew, it was the 30th and time to make our trek back south to Arkansas.

Of the 7 Christmases Brad and I have spent together, this was probably our favorite one yet. We had the perfect blend of high-energy times with family and relaxation, good weather and a little snow, good food and not gluttonously full bellies, and the ability to see Christmas through someone else's eyes...Quinn's.
