Christmas!!!!

I know it is over but here are our pictures from Christmas. We had a great time in Sedona and are very glad we went. The drive wasn't too bad and it only 2 tanks of gas each way in Ryan's car. We stayed in Bakersfield one night each way so overall we had a very nice, relaxing trip. We even got to see the Grand Canyon. Jon put us up in a gorgeous place that was nicer and bigger than our house in CA! We didn't want to leave! We brought Avery's presents with us so she was happy with everything to open. The best part was sharing the story of Christmas with Avery and explaining to her that God loves us so much he sent his son to save us from our sin. I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday and a Happy New Year!

Christmas light and Carousel

We decided to do something "Christmasy" and went with Beth, TJ, Karoline and Anderson to Berkeley to see the lights. We also got to ride on a carousel which was Avery's first time and she loved it. At first she was not too happy to be strapped in up there and was trying very hard to get off but as soon as it started to move she changed her mind. She grabbed the pole and started saying weeeeee. If you listen real hard you can hear it on the video. The girls were impressed with the lights but got over it pretty quick. All in all we had a nice evening and we're glad we went!

Friends at church

Here are some pictures from today. After church service Avery HAS to go back in the sanctuary and run and dance with her friends. Avery recently taught Karoline how to play ring-around-the-rosy so now they play that a lot. Anyway you can see that Avery has a lot of friends that think she is fun. Enjoy.

First Haircut

Avery got her first haircut today. She did pretty good. I had to keep reading to her and every once in a while she would look back and try to swat away that lady bugging her with the comb and water. :) She didn't cry or try to get out so that was good. I think it looks much nicer now without the mullet. She does seem to have this little curl on the back now which is kinda cute.
