Merry Christmas!!!

We have had such a fun time starting Christmas traditions with Avery, and wanted to share a few of the fun memories with all of you. Of course the best gift that Jon and I could have have asked for this year is our precious daughter. But Avery on the other hand loves gifts! And wrapping paper! And bows!

Daddy taught Avery to dribble a basketball on Christmas Eve...



Avery and her mini tree...




Taking ornaments off the tree...

who, me?

Trying to get into presents early...

Avery and mommy in front of the stockings...

Getting ready to go to church on Christmas Eve...

Daddy's little angel...

Trot waited patiently to open his stocking on Christmas morning...

Trot loves Santa...

Chloe was not so sure about her stocking...

Avery got a sweet cell phone in her stocking (maybe now she can stop grabbing her mom's cell phone and chewing on it all the time!)...

She's a little young for candy though...

More Nike's for Avery...

And while opening our stockings...we had a White Christmas for about 10 minutes!!! Hard to tell in the picture, but I swear, it's not rain!!

After stockings, we took a break and Avery had her first meal of solid foods!

It smelled and looked disgusting, but after an unsure first and second bite...she devoured the rest of the bowl of rice cereal! YUM!

Grandma Kathy would be so proud...

Yes, Pat the Bunny is more her speed...

This is about where she started getting overwhelmed by presents...

And we all needed a nap... Merry Christmas and we hope you all have as great a day as we're having! We miss you all!
