Fitness Competition

Daddy is entering a weight loss and fitness competition at work. It sounds really cool and Daddy is excited about eating better and exercising again. Plus, if he wins he says he is buying himself a new TV for the basement. I don't really understand why because we have one down there, but I will leave that for Mommy to deal with. Anyway, after seeing Daddy pose I had to have my turn.

Muscles! Check out those pecs!

Here I am flexing from the side.

Front pose, no flex. Quinn- I might be getting a belly. Sorry about that!

And finally, the back- Check me out!
It was all too funny. You'll notice today's paper in the pictures as well. This way we could prove the day the pictures were taken.

Snow!

We had the beginning of our snowy winter on December 29th. No White Christmas. I helped Daddy shovel and played with the dogs and Mommy outside in the snow. We have tons more than that now. When I went out yesterday to help, it was up to my waist. Mommy even pulled me in the sled down the street. The dogs wore their coats, but were still to chilly to be outside. They hung out in the garage until it was time to go inside, then rested in front of the fire place.

Christmas Day

Look at these from bottom to top! Mommy says she can only do so much and rearranging the pictures is not one of the things she wants to do today! (he he- She makes me laugh)

It was Papa's birthday on Christmas. We sang to him and I was even asked to help him blow out his candles. I'm not sure why Daddy and Great Papa are helping out. What's a boy to do?

These are my cousins, Julie and Alex. Both of them live in Florida and go to school there. That must be pretty cool! I like the snow though.

I entertained my family by playing all sorts of songs on my new keyboard. I prefer to play classical music- following the Little Einsteins.

This is my super new cool sled! Daddy and I took it for a test spin around the family room.

I got a new movie too- Danny and the Dinosaur. I ask Mommy and Daddy to read it to me every night and usually before my nap too. Do you think they are trying to get out of reading it to me by getting me the movie? It's not going to work!

Isn't this the coolest work bench? Mommy and Daddy got this for me so I can help with projects around the house. I have spent plenty of time measuring the counters and doors for Daddy.

Piper was all about lounging- in the middle of where we were trying to open presents.

Samson wanted to bury himself in the presents for some reason. I'm not too sure why? He was a good boy and Santa left the dogs some things in their stockings.

I asked Santa Claus for only one thing- a piano. Guess What?! I must have done something right- He left it for me. Maybe it was the yummy cookies we left for him or the carrots we left for his crew.

Christmas morning was such fun! Mommy and I waited upstairs for Daddy to get home from work so he could see what Santa left me when I discovered it. We'll see if this waiting thing works next year.....
