A lil bit of December...

I just had to take this sweet picture!  All worn out but finished with finals; time for a siesta!!
We didn't have time to make ginger bread so we made graham cracker houses instead.  This graham cracker car was made by Joey's brother Jason.  I thought it looked pretty good!
We decided to have a contest, boys vs girls.  The girls graham cracker house maybe stood for a whole 2 minutes... but the guys built a pretty sturdy mansion!

We spent Christmas in TX this year so we went over to Marietta the weekend before we left and Avery was in for a treat.  The uncles like taking her with them to shop because she is what they call a "chick magnet."  I didn't think this time would be any different and agreed to let them take her with them to the mall and Joey and I would meet them there a lil later because I wanted to get her picture with Santa.  When we met up with them my lil Avery had been transformed!!!  She had her ears pierced and in a whole new outfit!!  It was adorable :)  They are too good to her and she loves them!
Uncle Karl and Avery in her new GA Bulldogs Stafford Jersey, new cap, & her cute lil ears pierced!
We stood in line for almost 2 hours to see Santa so I was trying to remain optimistic with her.  She was getting restless... but that was to be expected
Avery and Uncle Jason!  They just had too much fun!
Mommy and Daddy helping Avery on Santa's lap!  We thought she might be scared but she kept looking back at him timidly as she was sitting on his lap.  Once he smiled at her, she kept staring at him and saying, "Whoa, Whoa!"

She told him she wanted a puppy!  Maybe I'm crazy but it was worth the wait; we also got to witness a proposal while standing in line too!
