Avery's First Visit to the Snow

We went to Mike and Jill's charming cabin for a night in a sweet little town called Green Valley. It was very relaxing- no T.V., no computer. We got cozy by the fire and we bundled up and took walks in the snow. It was a perfect getaway. Thanks Mike & Jill!!

Over the River and Through the Woods to Grandmother's House We Go....

Well, we actually started Christmas morning at our house where Avery opened her first stocking and some gifts from Mommy and Daddy.

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.



Wrong way, baby girl...
