Christmas Recap

Avery Claire, your first Christmas was perfect and amazing, just like you. We had so much fun sharing you with our family and friends. Because it would take me days (and let's face it, I've got to get this Christmas post in before we ring in a new year), I'm going to recap Christmas with lots of pictures and a few words.

Christmas Eve-Eve....

Playing at the lodge


Christmas Eve...

At Allison's house....swapping toys with Hudson




Hudson wanted to love on you...or maybe just get your hairbow.


Allie's a natural - she's going to be such a good Mommy when her little girl gets here in May. (Notice we've lost the tight jeans so you get around a little easier)


You and Hudson could really get into some trouble if you were left alone for very long.


The Foster sisters


Krystal & Allie (two mommies-to-be)


With Joyce


With Lisa


After gift-swapping (some of your gifts were from Uncle Matt & Aunt Sarah - that brought tears to Mommy's eyes, and if someone hadn't thrown away the nametag I hid, I'd have taken a picture of it).


Christmas Day...We woke up to snow!

Look at what Santa left for you!







with Grandmother Joann



Our little family


Opening gifts at Mema's







You were given 3 of these strollers (from Nana, Mema, and Grandmother Joann). Mommy and Daddy got tickled when you opened your 3rd one. Everyone knows how you love to shop and thought you'd need a stroller for your babies!


Christmas lunch at the lodge








By the time we left the lodge, we had a real "white Christmas." How much more perfect could your first Christmas get?!
