Quinton turns 6!!

We were lucky to have Abuela and Tia Bertha visiting us right before Quinton's birthday. They surprised him with a giant cookie - complete with train! Quinton's love of trains continues, although now it is more about real trains than Thomas the Train. For Christmas he got a set of Train videos (think PBS series) showing all of the major train lines in the U.S. Just last Saturday he asked me to help him put one in (Rocky Mountains). He still says that he wants to be a train conductor when he grows up - who knows!



Opening presents while Grandpa looks on. Quinton has all the Elephant and Piggy books by Mo Willems. These were the latest, plus a few Richard Scarry books. He used to read every night (I say "used to" because for Christmas he got legos, and they have replaced a lot of other activities!). We could hear him reading his books - and with quite a bit of enthusiasm!




He got this Mouse Trap game from my parents. He LOVES it! As a matter of fact, I just played a game with him last night, and Antonio played one with him this morning. Luckily it is not too long of a game, and is actually quite enjoyable.



Quinton's cake - he wanted chocolate, and since it seemed that we had had so much cake/cookie recently, I made a small cake.
