Christmas Tree Pics 2009!

So I did a pic like this last year at my mom's house because I just love her tree and I loved how the picture turned out.  So we went over tonight to try it for year #2.  We got Avery decked out in her new Christmas jammies, complete with slippers this year!  I just love these pictures!!!!!  My mom's tree is so pretty, and I love the windows behind it and the reflection of the lights.  I really think I will try to make this a holiday tradition! Here are a few from tonight!

Blog Book!!!!!!!!

So to all of my blogger friends...you MUST do one of these!!!!  There is a website called blurb.com and it takes your blog and turns it into a book.  It is pretty easy.  You can change layouts, colors, do tons of cool stuff, or just keep it simple and follow their layouts.  You can do hardcovers, dust jackets, square books.  Mine is just the 81/2 x 11 hardcover.  It really didn't take much time.  I changed a few things but kept it pretty simple.  I meant to do it last year after her first birthday but am a little behind, so I made it of Avery's first two years and it is beyond what I expected.  It is just so awesome.  They aren't really super expensive either.  Mine was very long, like 250 pages and it was still under $100.  It is great quality.  She loves to look at it, so I actually think I'm going to order another one to put up for her and let her keep this one out to look at.  I tried to take some pics, but I suck at product photography.  Guess I need to work on that.  Really though, if you have been keeping up with a blog, I can't recommend this enough!!!!!!!!!!!

Some Funny Pics!

These are from Cullen's phone, so sucky pics, but so funny!!  The first one is Avery getting ready to help Daddy go shovel out of our big snowstorm this morning.  We had a snow day, and it was so great.  All of 3 of us snowed in..we stayed in our jammies most of the day, had a fire, baked cookies, took naps and had lots of snuggles.  We tried Avery's snowpants on to see if they still fit, and she walked around in them saying "Snow Day, Snow Day"!  Do you think she heard us mention it once or twice??!!

This one is hilarious!  She stayed overnight at Nana's and Grandpa's on Saturday night when Cullen and I were at a party with some friends, and they apparently stayed up way too late.  She went pretty hard in the morning on Sunday, and then after lunch, she all of a sudden got really quiet as we were cleaning up, and we looked over at her and she had just fallen right asleep...quick.  She was out. It was too funny.  She has never fallen asleep in her high-chair.  She is usually a crib girl. She just doesn't fall asleep anywhere, so she must've been TIRED!!!  Just thought I'd share these funny pics of our sweetie!!
