Christmas and New Years 2006 have come and gone and nary a peep on Quincy’s site. Well, I had intended to write up something after the holidays, but Quincy and I were stricken with a GI bug that lasted this entire past week – clearly putting web postings on the back burner. We’ve both recovered and made it to the weekend, and with Quincy napping, I have the time to write something.
Our first Christmas in Maine was fun. Grammie and Grampa Rock made the trek up from Maryland and arrived at our home on Christmas Eve day. Quincy was very happy to see them and didn’t take long at all to flirt and play with them. We all made it our Christmas Eve service – which Quincy sat thru entirely – mainly because it was music and readings, and then we got home and put him to bed.
Christmas morning didn’t come very early at our house this year. Quincy “slept in” a little bit. All that means is that he didn’t get up at 6AM. For not yet being 18 months old, he really showed some interest in the gifts he received and didn’t end up playing with just the boxes or paper. He was one “gifted” child – he got all toys and books – no clothes! I was happy too because that means I have more options to play with now during the day. 🙂
We had a nice big feast later on that day, but Quincy’s favorite food of the holiday season was the honeyball cookie. In the picture gallery, you’ll find 4 or so pictures of him either holding one or begging for one.
His grandparents couldn’t get over how much he had changed in just the brief time between visits. It is hard for us to notice them to that great of an extent since we’re here 24/7, but he is growing right on up. So, we had a very nice Christmas and a great visit with my folks. New Years is another story since Quincy and I had a nasty GI bug, but I think I’ll keep that off the site. 😉
