"Christmas" morning at our houseChristmas was a lot of fun this year since Avery had some understanding of the whole Santa concept. She kept saying that Santa was going to put presents in her stocking and she even helped make cookies that we left for Santa on a special "Santa" plate. Santa came to our house the night before Christmas Eve, and Christmas Eve morning we had a quick family Christmas with just the 3 1/2 of us before heading over to Coppell to spend time with our families. When we asked Avery if she wanted to see what Santa brought she replied with one of her favorite phrases, "I do!" and ran into the living room, tripping when she got about halfway over to the presents! Unfortunately, Scott just missed getting that part on video. It was definitely different this year just driving across town instead of 3 hours from Oklahoma. On Christmas Eve day we had a big lunch with my family and opened gifts, and then went over to Scott's brother's house that evening. We stayed the night with my parents to minimize the amount of driving back and forth, and then spent Christmas Day with Scott's family at his brother's house (they live about 5 minutes from my parents--so convenient!) Avery got WAY too many presents of course, but she is enjoying playing with them and I guess they'll get used by Kendall eventually too. It took me all day yesterday to reorganize and put everything "away", or at least not in the middle of my living room floor. Scott and I got some nice presents too, some of which include a cleaning service for the house and a gift card to "Super Suppers" to help us out when Kendall gets here. And speaking of Kendall, next post will include belly shots for the curious ones out there. . . the belly is getting a little scary in proportion now, so watch out!

Laura and I were just talking about how much Avery has grown and how cute she is! of course you already knew that but her Christmas card pic was the sweetest thing. Glad you had a merry Christmas. Good luck w/ the remaining weeks of pregnancy!
Avery is growing so fast. You look great for 32 weeks. Glad to hear you had a great Christmas. How great to be so close to family. I would love a cleaning service for our home. What a great present! Looking forward to seeing Kendall. Thank you for the card of Avery. She is so sweet.
She is getting so BIG!
