Merry Christmas

We hope everyone had a wonderful, plentiful, blessed Christmas day. Santa certainly didn't miss our house this year...Avery Grace was one spoiled little girl! We've had a wonderful day spending time with my Dad, relaxing and enjoy the 24 hours of A Christmas Story. :)

We miss all of our family and friends dearly. We are so happy that we have family out here with us, it makes the holidays that more special! Enjoy the pictures! There will be more to come. :)

I forgot!!!

We also went to see the Grinch at the BX on Friday. At first Avery was scared of him, which is why mommy had to be in the picture too. But by the end of our visit, she had warmed up to him a little more. What did she care? She got to eat cake before lunch! Ha Ha

Here I am, the blog slacker again. Just when I get caught up, I slack off! I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season. We certainly are doing our part to get in the Christmas spirit! These past couple of weeks have been quite busy for us. And we leave tomorrow for San Diego for the weekend. As I type, I really should be packing and getting ready for this trip but I wanted to share some of the things we have been up to before the trip!

Last weekend we went to the Lompoc Christmas parade. Even though we'd always make fun of Cheyenne for the amount of horses in the parades...I really did enjoy them. Not one horse was in the Lompoc parade and we were quite disappointed! We had a good time, but Santa took a very long time to arrive. And as you can see from the picture, it was very cold...it also rained on us. We were troopers and stayed all the way to the end.

On Saturday, we headed to the Children's Christmas party through Matt's squadron. The spouses group put it on and I helped out with a few things.

Avery needed to sit on my lap and help me call out bingo cards for the Christmas bingo. I think she really just got chocolate on most of the cards more than anything. She thought it was a great seat because Mom had all the chocolate! Ha Ha

Here she is patiently waiting with all the other kiddos for Santa's lap. :) Amazingly enough, she actually went willingly to sit on Santa's lap this year. I was in shock! But we did capture it on film!

Telling Santa she would like candy for Christmas. Hee Hee

Here she is with her buddy Grant. I thought it was so cute that she put her arm around him...I had to sneak a picture of course. Eventually they both were doing it. Of course, as with Tanner in WY, Grant is a much older boy...4 years old! Ha Ha They have a great time together though.

And last but not least...I ordered Avery some big girl bedding since we've now converted her crib to a toddler bed. It's taken forever to get here but it finally arrived on Tuesday. Here she is showing it off...
