Christmas Photo Outtakes

So, are they considered outtakes if I didn't actually get a holiday photo worth sharing?

Hat vs. Flower

The hat won.



If this keeps up, I may be forced to cut bangs.

Belly Flop


yes...that's right. I turned my head for a second and she belly flopped right off the slide. Face first into the wood chips. Sorry Avery. Good thing she closed her eyes.

Dinnertime.

Brian snapped a few shots at dinner while I was at a choir practice. He's a brave guy giving Avery an open cup. Sorry, these are the only pictures from the day. Sundays are just plain crazy around here.

Christmas Parade

We went with some friends to the Christmas parade downtown today. We had a pretty good time. I've never seen so many beauty queens or girls scouts. They were definitely the majority of the parade. But there was lots of fun to be had...and besides, the company was fabulous.




This shopping cart was the coolest thing I think. The guy up top was driving it. Pretty sweet.

Santa did show up...but apparently he's still busy at his workshop because he just drove on through and didn't even stop for a wave or to throw some candy to us frozen folk.

Warm and toasty in the car. I love my little elf.


Alright...some random video from today. Austin, I thought of you when I saw the unicyclers..and it made me want one.

No fun

The Doctor's office is no fun. This was the worst set of shots yet. We'll make up for it tomorrow.

15 Months

15 months old and mastering the fork.



She still prefers her fingers.

Yeah, and sometimes the vacuum technique is used.

So, we're working on the fork business still. Good thing she's so stinkin' cute.

Cruisin'

For the past couple weeks when I look back in my rear view mirror, I've caught Avery just chillin' in her car seat like this. I finally snapped a picture.


And just so you know I'm totally dedicated to finishing my year of pictures...it's 12:17 AM. Just got back from a jewelry making extravaganza with lots of fun ladies. Avery's gonna get the cutest bracelet from Santa!

New Trick

After months, and I mean MONTHS of practice, this girl has conquered the stairs!

She's always been good going up, but going down has been a work in progress since she could crawl. This is a milestone I'm pretty excited about! No more worrying every time she stops in the hall.

I couldn't help posting these other pictures from the park today. Usually the slide is her favorite, but she played in and out of this tunnel for at least 20 minutes.




We also had our very first serious tantrum in a store today. A joy for sure. She's always been so good going into stores, but now that she wants to check everything out, I think my errand time will be reduce to solo missions at night.

O Christmas Tree

Avery loves the Christmas tree and all the ornaments that do fun stuff. I'm actually surprised she's been so good with it. She constantly wants to press the buttons, but my patience is growing because she so stinkin' cute when she dances to the music.
