Eight years (and one day) ago, this little bubba stole our hearts. Quinn is so many things to so many people. She is loyal, caring, funny, stubborn, strong willed and very clever. She asked for a horse ride this year, and not being one to do things by halves, we had a horse come to…

Christmas Eve was 5pm dinner at Nanny & Grandpa’s (Dad’s parents) house, as being Eastern European, they celebrated on Christmas Eve.
