Christmas

Wade, Avery, and I had a wonderful Christmas and we hope y'all did too!

We spent December 23-27 in Gaffney, SC, with Wade's family. It was so nice to be able to stay so long with them! We visited with family members, had great big Christmas Eve and Christmas day meals, opened lots of presents, and really enjoyed hanging out with the family!

Avery is finally all happy and healthy too. Big, BIG hooray! We went to the doctor on Monday, December 21st, and he checked her ears...and they BOTH were back to normal! Finally!!!

After 3 rounds of antibiotics, a nasty case of diaper rash, a bad cough, and dealing with lots of boogers, it's such a treat to have a healthy baby again. Thank you, Jesus!:)

Avery's clean bill of health was definitely my Christmas present...well, that and my new MacBook Pro laptop! I love this thing!

Well, Avery is 10 months old now...wow...I'm starting to think about plans for a 1 year birthday party...it's crazy! I'll do a post about what's new with her soon...

But, for now, enjoy these cute Christmas pictures!

For some reason, this was one of the few pictures we took during the Christmas Eve gift exchange with the Osments...

Christmas morning!!! Malie made Avery and me stockings!

Avery's stocking was filled with duck themed gifts from The Peabody Hotel in Memphis, the place where Malie and Papa stayed during a recent trip. She loved the rubber duckies!

Santa came again...

...and brought Avery a musical, light up seahorse that plays classical music.

What will Santa think of next?!
