Catching Up...

First of all- Happy Holidays!! So much has happened since I blogged last... where to start? Thanksgiving was great. We went back down to Ft. Worth and saw both families. Cody and I weren't able to do the Black Friday shopping like we did last year throughout the night, but we did manage to get out a little bit that day & get some done :)

December came way too fast to me. I had been trying to put it off for so long, but it was inevitable... December came. Avery turned 1! It happened so fast that I couldn't totally soak it in- it still hasn't totally sunk in that my baby girl is a 1 year old already...

For her birthday we went down to Ft. Worth and celebrated with family and friends. It was a Minnie Mouse party & we had lots of fun! She absolutely LOVED it when everyone sang Happy Birthday to her- it was just adorable.

Hunter had a blast at the party as well. His best friend, Heather, is my best friend's daughter :)

So, now it was time to focus on the upcoming Christmas festivities... first and foremost: a picture with Santa! Avery didn't have it... I figured that she wouldn't, but hey- it was worth a try!! Hunter looks as handsome as can be, though... such a big boy.

Hunter brought me home a present from school-- yes my first hand-made Christmas gift. I love it! A picture of him and Santa & an ornament with his fingerprints... can't wait for more of these precious gifts (the best ones are always hand-made)!

We hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday. I will try to blog a bit more than I have been- after Christmas is over, it will be a lot easier!

Avery has learned to throw fits... real fits- those kind where they throw their body on the floor & scream... yes, it has begun already. Whatever happend to the terrible 2's? Why is it all of a sudden... the terrible childhood years ha ha!? She gets her temper from her daddy (shh- he says she gets it from me, but we all know that just isn't true) :)

Must attend to my fussy 1-year old now... more blogging later.
