Apparently Santa Claus had a busy night and was trying to catch sleep before Christmas morning.
Avery and Addie opening up Christmas. Avery only got shoes in Alabama so Addie's presents were a lot more appealing.
Avery and Auntie Chia on Christmas morning.
Sam got this sweater for Christmas and when he zipped it all the way it totally freaked Avery out.
This is taking the family pictures. Avery was sick that day and was so cuddly and sleepy. I felt bad that she didn't feel well but I LOVED the cuddly baby I got for the day.
Chase doing his business on our way back to the car.
Little lovey baby boo boo missy moo sweetcakes.
Feeding the ducks! Avery loved it!
Davis and Papa hanging out on New Year's Eve.
Avery and Nuna looking cute.
Chase and Nathan got tired of eating and decided to have a plastic silverware fight... beware!
Michael, Lacey, Abby, Emma, and Carden on New Year's Eve. We had a really yummy turkey dinner... I can almost taste it.
Avery and auntie Lacey looking adorably snazzy.
Emma and Nathan emptying the dishwasher... they put on oven mitts because the silverware was still hot. Too cute.
This was at the Chicago airport on our way home. They had this fun playground that helped pass the 3 hour layover. There was a little girl that was kind of playing with Ave and came over and and stepped on Avery's hand and then sat on it. Avery's little lip quivered but she mustered a smile and then her lip quivered again. She tried really hard not to cry but I felt so bad that I went over and picked her up and gave her a love. She whimpered for a second and then got down and played with the girl. It was seriously so dang cute. Of course.
When we came home from Alabama we had 3 days to try and get our life put back together before we headed off to Park City to be with Michael's family. We had so much fun there! I was terrible with picture taking but here are a few that I did get. Above is Avery giving a kiss to cousin Annie. We are so excited that Avery has close girl cousins on both sides! It will make family reunions so much fun! Avery was in love with Annie (who isn't) and would try to give her kisses and loves and tickles whenever she could.
This is Avery and Grandpa watching the kids tell stories on the table. She was being cute and cuddly with him... until she saw me. But it was sweet for the few minutes!
This is Austin being crazy on the table. This is also when Avery spotted me. She became a reall momma's girl with all the trips we took. She would constantly be saying 'mommy, mommy, mommy'
This is Nick and James, the best two cousins ever. They are seriously so cute together!
Earlier in the week Avery was really interested in auntie Chia's boots so we put them on her and I went to take a picture and she freaked out right before I took it (typical) so we never got it. Then I was wearing my slippers (above) and Avery became really interested in them so I put them on her and she stood and smiled until I got the camera and then this is what she did. But she looks really cute!
