Christmas Eve morning, I just love this face and crazy hair


Well we had a busy Christmas season as usual. For the first time this year we did not attend the Mier (my side) family event. It would have been way too much for her. We started out the week by going to Wes' aunt Heidi's house for the Schmidt side of the family. We had a really nice visit, but not many pics, as Avery was NOT cooperating. Then on Christmas Eve we went and took my mom to breakfast, and had a nice visit with her. On Christmas Eve night we went to the Seal function (Wes' mom's side of the family). We had a great time. Christmas morning we woke up and did a few presents that Avery had. We then went to Wes' dad's house for brunch. Avery then took a nap and then went to Wes' sisters for a nice prime rib dinner. Then it was off to work for me. Wow, I am exhausted just writing it. Avery was ready to be at home for a day after all of that. We had a great time celebrating with family. Oh and for an early Christmas present we were blessed with a healthy new nephew Cooper!!! We can't wait to meet him next month and smoosh his little face. Happy New Year everyone.

Today Avery had her 15 month check up and she is getting so big! Here are her stats

Weight: 20 pounds 4 ounces (10th percentile- huge jump for us)
Length: 29 1/8th inches (15th percentile)

She is right on track with all of her milestones and are so grateful to have a healthy little girl.

My aunt Alison and I (yes we are only 3 years apart)
Her favorite thing- the stairs

Here are just a few of the pics from out annual trip to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving. She did surprisingly well there and just loved staying with my aunt and uncle. She cried for a long time on the way there, but the way back was better. She had a hard time napping, the conditions were not ideal for her, but what else is new. We also took our family Christmas pictures when we were there as well. Enjoy.
