Christmas Break

After we saw the Christmas shaker that Kensie made at her school, we had to make Avery one. Avery got so excited when she saw me taking the label off the Coke bottle. It always amazes me how much she remembers. Even though it had been a couple of days since she saw Kensie's shaker, she still knew what we were going to do.
We filled our shaker with rice, red sequins, ribbon, glitter, and jingle bells.



Not feeling too well, but still shaking it!

This is how we have been spending our Christmas break.
I took Avery to the doctor on Monday because she had been coughing, had a yucky nose, and a fever. We found out she has RSV. Along with all the medicine she has to take, she also has to do breathing treatments 3 times a day. She is such a big girl. She doesn't fight it anymore, and just lays there while I hold the mask over her nose. Today we went back to the doctor because her fever hasn't gone away, and found out not only does she have RSV, she also has Strep and the flu. So now we have a new antibiotic and have added Tamiflu to the list of medications.

Short Videos

Here are a few short videos taken over the Thanksgiving holiday. Enjoy!!!


Avery loves to give hugs right now. She kept going back and forth between Tim and I giving hugs. At first she would wait until we asked her for a hug before running to us, then she just started giving them away freely!

Craft Shows

Holly, Shenna, Jodee and I have been putting our crafts in a lot of craft shows lately. Although we haven't made enough to quit our day jobs yet, it's still been a lot of fun!

Giraffes


Bows



Crayon Rolls

I also finally opened my shop on Etsy. After much deliberation on a name for my shop, Simply Sassy Boutique is finally open for business. As I find time, I'm slowly adding more to the shop. Right now, I have a couple of giraffes and a crayon roll for sale.

Wurstfest and Halloween

This weekend was Halloween, and the first weekend of Wurstfest. My mom made Avery an adorable dress and cape for her Little Red Riding Hood costume, and then she also got to wear the dress to Wurstfest.

Pumpkin Patch

Avery had so much fun running around all of the pumpkins, and sitting next to all of them. Kensie on the other hand didn't want to sit for any pictures, or at least any pictures with Avery and Connor in them.
