Andrew Stephen Quinsey: Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree......

Wow, who knew December could be so much fun!!! Yesterday we went to visit Santa Clause at the Bellingham Ferry Terminal. I went and sat on his lap and I wasn't scared at all. He was very nice and even gave me a candy cane. Then we went upstairs and I got a HUGE gingerbread cookie. They also had a choir singing which I really enjoyed. Then we got to go on a horse drawn carriage ride around Fairhaven. I especially enjoyed that. It was a fun time. Later that day Mommy and Daddy took me to the lighted parade in Lynden. There were firetrucks, tractors, and other machinery with lights all over them. It was so cool!! I went with my cousins Kellan and Aliyah and although it was raining we had a really good time. Unfortunately Mommy's camera died so she doesn't have any pictures but she did get some footage on her camcorder.

Today was Mommy's birthday so I decided to let her sleep in until 7:30. She was really happy about that. Then we took her out to breakfast and went to get our Christmas tree. That's mommy's favorite thing to do. We walked all over the tree field looking for just the right tree. I had so much fun running through the trees playing hide and go seek with Daddy. I also gave lots of trees a hug. It made Mommy and Daddy laugh. When we finally found the perfect tree I got to help Daddy cut it down. Then we spent the afternoon decorating the tree. I got myself all tangled in the lights and Mommy thought that I was the Christmas tree. I helped hang a few ornaments on the tree but mostly I found it more fun to take them off. Mommy and Daddy didn't find that as amusing though. Hmmm.. I wonder why? It was such a fun weekend and I can see why my mom gets so excited about the Christmas season!! ( don't worry I won't start listening to Christmas music in July like she does)

Here's a hug for you little tree!
