The first weekend in December is a tradition in my immediate family's holiday season. Each year we get together and spend the evening together doing something festive. This year we went to downtown Naperville and did the riverwalk and checked out the Christmas decorations. Much like the decorated cows in Chicago, Naperville does decorated snowmen! Avery loved all of them!!
By the time we got home that night it was late, but the kids were wound up! Of course, Auntie Ashley and Uncle Patrick had nothing to do with that....
Finally, at 11:30 pm, the kiddos went to bed! Thankfully Avery slept until 9:30 the next morning! :)
That Sunday was a family Christmas with my dad's side. It is always nice to see the extended family and catch up. Avery of course just saw this as another chance to hang out with Lucas...her best friend!
Avery has been thoroughly enjoying everything Christmas! (Yep, we bought inflatable characters for our front yard this year. We are those people!)
Checking out some crazy Christmas decorations.
Avery's elf has also gotten himself into some trouble!
And made Avery some chocolate milk and cereal to take in the car...
This is Avery thanking Chippy for the snack he made her that morning and asking him if he liked his chocolate milk?
Pregnancy Update:
Things are still going great! Ryen is moving like crazy and is super active at night. Avery got to feel her move for the first time the other day and just last night we got to see her move. I forgot how crazy that actually is. We are currently 26 weeks along and should probably start working on her nursery...My hope is to get some paint samples on the wall this weekend and then start going through all of Avery's old clothes. Despite having 7 huge tubs of clothes, I still feel the need to go and buy more.... I wonder how Dave feels about that!
