Caught up...

So I finally updated the blog with all our Christmas pics. We had an absolutely wonderful Christmas. December was just a great month and Avery was soooo much fun!

I didn't get to do my December Daily due to computer issues but here you can see we had tons of fun even if I didn't blog it out everyday.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and fabulous new year!!! We are excited for 2009 and know there are many great things coming our way. We can't wait to see what is in store for us.

So....

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Christmas fun...

Avery and I had SOOOO much fun making Christmas cookies! Unfortunately I didn't get any pics of the flour everywhere and the rolling pin. She loved rolling out the cookie dough...

I make these fun treats every year and this year Ave helped...well everytime I put a Rolo down she would eat it...note the chocolate on her face...The finished product!

Avery had fun putting ornaments on the tree this year!
