Getting in the Spirit

We hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving holiday. We had a great time at Grammie's house for our Thanksgiving feast. Josh, Mandy and Bella joined us which made for lots of fun for the kiddos and it was so good to see them again, it's been too long. Aunt Shelly and Avery Saturday Avery and daddy brought home our Christmas tree and the rest of the day was spent watching Avery play with the ornaments. If you didn't know already, Hallmark ornaments are my downfall. I tend to pick up at least a handful a year which has accumulated into quite a collection. Avery likes them b.c many play music and this year he found it rather entertaining to have them all playing at once. On Sunday he dressed up like the Grinch and was stealing the ornaments off the tree, placing them in a pillowcase! He even changed his clothes to make sure he was wearing as much green as possible, just like the Grinch. He is non-stop entertainment and exhausting all the same. Ella discovered the tree right away and loves to stare at the ornaments. She hasn't realized that she can take them off yet (hooray for us!) She also has this thing against a Santa we have standing in our hallway- she makes quite a fuss and is almost in tears every time she gets close to it so we've been moving it all over the house to accommodate her. Her newest thing is her laugh- she breaths in when she laughs making this high pitch sound, it's quite funny. We can't wait till Christmas morning to see the smiles on their faces when Santa delivers the presents.
