A perfect morning...

Avery got a new big girl bed on Friday and last night was her first night to sleep in her bed.  She made it THE WHOLE NIGHT!!!  She came in my room at 6:45 a.m. (like clock work) so excited and proud of herself.  It only took 4 years (almost) So, because she had a good night sleep, we got up made chex mix and had a dance party with Justin Beiber's song, Baby!  What a great morning... Thanks Aves!!

Santa Claus is coming to town...

Santa was visiting Avery's favorite store, Bullfrogs and Butterflies, so we thought it would be fun to take the girls to see him.  Stella was all for it.  Avery, well...

Hot Chocolate

When I was a child, I loved coco and toast (I still do!)  Everytime it snowed, we would bundle up and play outsides for hours.  When we came back in our mom had coco and toast ready for us...So, this morning I decided to share the same experience with Avery.  This weekend was our first winter snow and the first time we have played in the snow with Avery.  I didn't take any pictures because I was inside with Stella, but Todd, Mike (Ave's best adult friend, Mike Jones) and Avery built a HUGE snow man in our front yard.  It was awesome.  We didn't have any vegetables to use, so the snowman's eyes were limes and the nose was a jalapeno.  So creative!!

The top 10 reasons we LoVe Avery...

1. She is so creative
2. She has the most outgoing personality
3. She is sensitive, but will speak her mind and tell it like it is (like it or not)
4. She enjoys playing school
5. She loves her little sister
6. She is willing to try anything atleast once
7. She loves to ask questions and learn new things
8. She has the funniest sense of humor and uses it at appropriate times
9. She is full of sass

10.  She is full of life and love :)

Avery doing ALL the things she loves at once: Watching TV, playing school with her circle spots, with her pillow pet, in her flats and outfit she picked out by herself. So creative, Aves!

Love the outfits!
