Christmas Party

We took Avery to the NICU Christmas party today. They had fun crafts and face painting, this was his first time, and Santa Clause. He held so still while she was painting his cheek.




Avery was very interested in seeing Santa, from outside the room.



As soon as it was our turn to go in and meet Santa, he wanted nothing to do with him. Even though as we walked in to the party he went up so some random lady and asked, "Please, up".

SNOW!!!

It started to snow yesterday and snowed all night and through part of today. I decided to take Avery out and get the driveway shoveled... again. Also we could play in the snow. Avery liked to eat the snow, but that was just about it. He was not really interested in playing in it at all.


All the pictures that I posted have him with his mittens on, but he kept pulling them off and his hands were getting really cold, so I would put them on again.


Sitting on the snow is about as close as he got.




When we came in from playing in the snow Avery laid down in front of the fireplace and just stayed there. He is not too enthusiastic about the cold yet. I think, "Just give it a couple of years".




Thanksgiving

The first thing that Avery did on Thanksgiving morning was put his tooth through his lip. He was up on the bed with Jeremy, getting Daddy up, and ran to the end of the bed and tripped and fell into the foot board. It is a good thing that Jeremy is good with blood, as I am not.

While we were waiting for Jon, my brother, to show up, Jeremy got Avery to go to sleep. It was not a long nap, but he had had a hard morning.

The food at Shannon's was great, Avery didn't want to eat much, but it was the best turkey I have ever had!
