She said yes!

One of the most exciting things over the Christmas holidays was that Will's baby sister Laura got engaged! We are so excited! We love Laura and Reed very much, and can't wait for July 18th!

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful, very busy Christmas! Avery Carter enjoyed her first Christmas! She loved having all of her family around. These are a few of the highlights!

Colorado

Will and I had a wonderful vacation skiing (and shopping) in Colorado. We had so much fun with Brad and Molly. It was beautiful and very cold! We arrived on Wednesday, and it snowing. It snowed all day Thursday and didn't stop until Friday morning.

Mr. and Mrs. Lee Howarth

Here are some pictures from Lee's wedding. It was so much fun, and such a sweet time with family!

Build a Bear

Shop til you drop...

Friday morning Laura, Claire, Avery Carter and I got up early and went shopping in Dallas. We had so much fun, and Avery Carter was an angel. What can we say, she has shopping in her blood. Santa, I am pretty sure he was the real one, came to the mall along with a real reindeer and Frosty the snowman. Avery Carter slept through Santa, then woke up in time to "Build a Bear." What fun!

Thanksgiving in Dallas!

We celebrated Avery Carter's first Thanksgiving in Dallas! We were there for Lee's(Will's brother)wedding. Will, Lee, and Mr. Harry fried turkeys Thanksgiving morning. We played sequence (with just a few arguements!) and ate way, way too much food.

9 months!

Avery Carter had her nine month well baby check up yesterday. The dr was so pleased with everything she's doing. She was 28 1/2 inches and weighed 21.3 lbs. Some of her nine month highlights...she claps, waves bye, gives hi fives, can say daddy, mama, hey, hi, bye, thank you. Probably her biggest accomplishment is that she's WALKING!!! She loves to walk everywhere. These cupcakes are from her grandaddy and that's our staircase with Will holding Avery Carter and our neighbor Reed.
