A few days to go...

Quinn is slowly getting the hang of this Christmas thing. He definitely knows what's up when we ask him if he wants to open a door (to his Advent Calendar, which has a chocolate behind each door).

I think he knows that things are a bit different around the house (he is getting to eat more cookies than normal). The Christmas Tree, for one...which has thankfully survived the daily Hurricane Quinn (so far, so good).

Tonight, Quinn and I headed to the Christmas Market to meet some friends, and we ended the evening with a few rides on the carousel...which he really loved. Of course, as he got in, he had to study the doorknow to see how it worked (is this sort of curiosity normal, or is he going to be an engineer?). He's on a carousel, and the first thing he does when he sits down is looks at the doornob?

Needless to say, he had a blast, but didn't really figure out that he need to wave at Papa each time he went by.

Today is also the shortest day of the year...where the sun rises after 8am and goes down around 4pm...this is one of the things I dislike the most about the German winters: the really short days. But, the long summer days will be here before long.

Hope you have a great last few days before Christmas.
