Holiday Fun

We had the opportunity to watch the Dana Point boat parade from a friend's boat. It was fun to get all bundled up and cozy. Avery loved watching all the decorated boats float by. What a good time with good friends!




We also visited Roger's Gardens in Newport Beach. It is a fantastic nursery that goes all out for Christmas with tons of lights and decorations. It's fun to grab a coffee or hot chocolate and meander.

I love Christmas Traditions

Every year, my family (Bonner's) has a Christmas Eve tradition of opening up one Christmas gift (new jammies) before our traditional Christmas Eve dinner of prime rib, Yorkshire pudding, creamed spinach and jello salad. So yummy! We would get all cozy in our new jammies and eat this delicious dinn-dinn.

This year, Mimi and Papa started the tradition of new jammies with Avery. She got to have them a little early so we could enjoy our little munchkin in her new Christmas jammies all season.

Tis the Season...

"If You're Happy and You Know It"

So... Avery has been smiling and giggling so much. It has been so fun. Every time we get the camera out, she stops smiling and just stares at it. I secretly captured the giggles as she and daddy were having fun together on Thanksgiving Day.

Guess which picture she realized that there was a camera in her face?
