Merry Christmas (2011)

I love turning on Christmas music and decorating the tree the weekend after Thanksgiving.  (I would probably start decorating earlier if my husband would let me!)  I want to have the house all Christmasy as long as possible!  Jake was so excited to actually get to help this year. And since Avery is a little taller now, we didn't have all of the ornaments at the very bottom of the tree like last year!




This year, we had four Christmases, and I love it!!  I know some people complain about having to go so many places, but I want to celebrate with as many people as possible!  So this year, we had Christmas a couple of weeks early with my dad's side of the family, then with just my parents, sisters, and their families, then on Christmas Eve we visited Tim's family, and then had Christmas day at our own house with just the kids.

Avery enjoyed biting the head off of the snowman cookie Morgan made.


This girl is such a sweet big sister!  She loves her Jakey Boy so much, and is always helping him and hugging on him.  And she's so patient.  Jake gets into his little screaming fits and she always tries to comfort him and calm him down even though it usually ends with her getting a smack in the face.  But she always tries!

Such a sweet face

Love that laugh!

Uncle Hayden is always ready to help!

...again, that's Hayden in the back making sure the girls don't fall over!
