Grandma White sent this little people wagon with big legos ahead of Christmas and we decided to take Avery on a spin. She likes to play with the lego-blocks!
Christmas Eve: (see above pics) We all got together at Steve & Jenn's for the celebration and feast. My parents and brother, Ben, are in from Tennessee for a week. There were 9 adults and 9 kids total! We chit-chatted, exchanged gifts, and had a little Christmas program. Simple enough! (Well, except that I stayed up 'til 2 a.m. the night before making food and made Brian help me until 1 a.m.! It all turned out very good so it was worth it!) Avery took 2 hours to finally fall asleep for her afternoon nap. Poor child. She was good after that (and before, just not during).
Christmas Day: (see above pics) We had a simple morning just Brian and I and Avery. I've realized that the kids bring all the magic into Christmas. I can't wait 'til Avery knows what Christmas is all about! Later we met up at Louis & Katherine's house. We skyped lots of family. Love skype. Everybody had a kick out of "Photo Booth" on our mac. It's a sure entertainer! 
The water looks inviting...
What are you doing to me, dad?!?
Day after Christmas: (see above pics & video) Avery's first dip! She's never been in the water before now. What a cute suit from Donna. :) She slowly warmed up to the water and even began to really enjoy it! What a fun kid. The pool was a lot of fun for all the kids and I enjoyed it quite a lot too- especially the big slide!
Sunday: (see above pic) Mom, Dad, and Ben are with us now and came to our noon sacrament meeting. Mom took care of Avery at church while Brian and I gave talks! We took it nice and easy today.
Monday: It is now monday. Brian went to work. The rest of us took a tour of the Bean Life Science Museum and even got to see a live reptile show! Now we're sitting here watching Batman begins (at least Ben, Avery and I). Mom and Dad are napping. I guess Ben is now too. ....and avery. It looks like it's me, the blog, and batman. Talk to you soon to finish up Christmas.
