HO, HO, HO A Special Visit

Averi was so surprised tonight when SANTA paid her an early visit. He found her tonight while at my parents house. He stopped by to tell her that he received her letter and is so happy that she is such a good little girl. He even brought her a special surprise. She was delighted! Full of excitement! As soon as he left, she asked, "How did he get here, while running towards the window". She also said, "Santa is a big man, he is huge, and my favorite,"He had GOOD breath"! What a cutie!

What a WONDERFUL time of YEAR

" Christmas is not a season.. it is a feeling" Yeah for traditions, snow (hopefully), giving, friends & family, and the whole feeling of Christmas

I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR! HERE IS AVERI IN HER CHRISTMAS DRESS.

I GET TEARY EYED LOOKING AT IT-FOR THE FACT THAT SHE IS

GETTING SO BIG, SO FAST. SHE LOOKS ALL GROWN UP IN THIS PHOTO.

SHE IS A POSER! I COULD JUST SQUEEZE THOSE CHEEKS!

WHAT A CUTIE!

We are READY- SORT OF?

We put up our Christmas tree last week, a bit early but so NICE to have it DONE! I LOVE snowmen, if you can't tell! Averi was so good to help. Maybe even a LITTLE too HELPFUL at times.

I love to see her eyes dance with excitement when she looks at all of the decorations. SHE brings me nothing but PURE JOY!

I am so PROUD to be her Mommy!

HAPPY TURKEY DAY

Happy Thanksgiving to all! We hope you all had a WONDERFUL Day! We were able to spend the weekend with our family. We ATE, played games, ATE, watched movies, ATE and did some SERIOUS SHOPPING! It feels so good to have a lot of my shopping DONE! What a stress reliever! ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS OF THANKSGIVING IS ALL OF THE PIES TO CHOOSE FROM! OUR LITTLE FAMILY

MY LITTLE SASSY PANTS!

SHE SURE IS A CUTIE!!!

Our Family

We took these pictures while visiting my sister in Idaho last month. I left my camera at her house-hence the lack of blogging lately! I have really missed it.

I flew 5 days in a row last week and when I arrived home, I was so SURPRISED and SHOCKED to find that Garrett had put up the outside Christmas lights! WOW.... Seriously, that is HUGE. Usually, I have to ask and ask, not this year.... I think having a 3 year old around who is wrapped around her Daddies finger and whose full of anticipation and excitement for the season helps! This week I have to attend training meetings in Atlanta. I can handle spending 1-2 nights away from my sweet family but 5 is too MANY! I am ALREADY looking forward to Friday night when I get to be picked up by my sweet husband and adorable baby girl! I love you both and will miss you!
