The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

We have had a pretty good week. Avery recovered from her cold with no visit to Dr. K! This was a big step in my book. YAY! The only problem is I have the cold now! Uh-oh..I'm going to buy some masks from a medical supply place but if I still feel bad Wednesday I'll run to the doctor and get a shot on my lunch break :). Anyway, my mom came down this weekend. Charlie and I got to get out of the house together for a little while....we finished up Christmas shopping and ate lunch at Red Lobster. It was so nice! Avery had a visit from Bonnie & Aunt Laura and they had a good time. They brought a lot of goodies...some of the CUTEST clothes! They are too sweet!!!



Avery is trying to transition from crawling to sitting - she can do it sometimes and she gives up sometimes. But I am still so proud that she is crawling! I am excited and ready for Christmas. I heard someone say in the mall "I'll be so happy when Christmas is over!" I will admit that I've probably said that at one time or another, but it is still sad! I am really trying to just enjoy everything about Christmas this year. I have been so blessed this year I cannot possibly complain about celebrating the birth of Jesus! Besides, it IS the most WONDERFUL time of the year! So...if you're thinking about complaining about Christmas...pick something else...there are many more things to complain about! (Or, you could just not complain at all :) - Believe me, I know, easier said than done!)
