Averie got a new toy for Christmas, but I just barely set it up! It is a little jungle gym that has a ramp (for balls to roll down) and it plays music and animal sounds if you push a ball. Averie loves it! She has already figured out how to get the balls down the ramp, and she can't stand it when there is no music playing, so she constantly pushes the little ball. There is also a little mirror that she tilts down and looks into and smiles and talks to herself.

Too Soon!!!!!

Yesterday was Averie's 7 month birthday! She worms her way around (she started that back around the beginning of December!). She is saying dadadada now and she sat up without me seeing on Friday! I was starting a fire and turned around and she was across the room sitting up smiling at me. It took me a minute to realize that she did it on her own! I couldn't believe it. Time is going too fast!

Glaedelig Jul! Merry Christmas!

Christmas this year was at Bedstefar and MorMor's house (Grandpa & Grandma Roberts to those who don't Danish) We got there Christmas Eve and didn't leave until Saturday. Averie got all sorts of learning toys (more from Grandmas and Grandpas than Santa). Brian gave Averie and me a gun for Christmas- camoflage stock and all! The food was great (loved the rice pudding, although I didn't win the marzipan pig) , the nights were fun and the family was wonderful!

HO HO HO! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

One Little Turkey Ran Away.......

Happy Thanksgiving! I love this holiday! The food, the family, the fun! This year, everyone came to our house and ate a wonderful dinner! Even though, at the last minute I had to buy corn.... really, who doesn't have corn at Thanksgiving (you Gilsons! j/k!) It was wonderful. Averie just sat and took it all in (all those weird relatives). The day after we went and cut down a Christmas tree (yeah!) I love the holiday season!
