Playing Dress Up

So Miss Avery loves to play in my closet while I'm getting ready for work (or anytime for that matter.) She drags out every single belt, scarf, hat, pair of shoes etc. I own. Lately she's been putting them on, sometimes 3 or 4 at a time. This is what she came out in last week. A girl MUST be accessorized...

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving started off with brunch at my inlaws' house. We enjoyed the morning spending time with family and eating yummy food. We then headed to my parents' house for lunch/early dinner. We ate, relaxed and were entertained by Miss Avery of course. We spent the evening at Johnny's Grandma and Grandpa's house. We ate some more and Avery got to play with not one, not two, but THREE doggies! We missed seeing Johnny's cousin Lauren and her new fiance Kevin. They got engaged the night before, CONGRATS Lauren and Kevin!!! Thanksgiving was a long but fun day and we have so much to be thankful for! I didn't take as many pics as I would've liked, but here are a few from the day.

Happy Halloween!

We had a fun Halloween with our family! We had lots of yummy food, a fire pit and of course tons of candy! Our plan was to take Miss Avery to a few of our neighbors' houses to trick or treat. Well, she wanted nothing to do with it! We made it to three houses and she was done. She was more interested in petting their doggies than getting candy. She did enjoy handing out candy to the other kids though! Maybe next year she'll understand the concept of FREE candy!

Our little ladybug and her cheesy grin!

Posing for the camera!

She absolutely LOVES lollipops!!!

I think she had three in a row!

Oh well, it was Halloween!

The awesome Elmo pumpkin that Daddy carved for her!

It definitely got lots of compliments from trick or treaters!

Cute family pic!

GO CARDS!!!

Happy Birthday PaPa!

Yesterday was my dad's birthday. Mom, Dad, Luke and Melissa came over for a bbq. It was a gorgeous afternoon and we enjoyed sitting out on our deck! (we did eventually have to come in to catch the Cards game of course!)

Happy Birthday Dad! We love you lots!!!

Visit with Great Grandmas

A few weeks ago I took Avery to see my Grandmas...remember they both live in the same complex so we get to see both of them when we visit. Avery is always quite the entertainer! They get a kick out of just watching her, and she's sure to always ham it up for them!

She looks like she's saying something very important in this pic!

Powdered Donut Love

Avery has a new found love for powdered donuts! Ha! (Don't mind the bed head look) :)
