I'm not going to lie, I think I am having more fun this Holiday season than Avery is (actually, that's probably not possible)! Baking cookies, drinking egg nog and hot cocoa (not together), decorating, visiting Santa, watching Christmas movies and playing in the snow!! We had a HUGE snowstorm this past week and by the end of the day, hadn't cleared any of it off of our drive way. Shit, the snowplowers hadn't even come to do our road. So it looked like a huge fluffy marshmallow land outside. Buddy decided he was going to head out and clean off the driveway and we figured we could have Avery snow suit up and go out and help him while Bryan napped. By the time Buddy got outside (I think this was intentional) the neighbors had gone by and cleaned off our driveway with their snowblower. Very strategic of Buddy to wait! With the extra time, Buddy realized that it would be fun to get out his snowboard and let Avery ride down the driveway on it. Luckily, nobody was driving on our street because she would zoom out into the street each time. It was like our own little sledding hill. We finally started to freeze after playing for so long and the only way we could get our little outdoorsy tot inside is by telling her we could make some Hot Cocoa :) She doesn't hesitate when she hears that!!

| Just checking it all out! |
 |
| If you can't spot this girl in the snow... you are blind. |
 |
| Had to have her sippy cup along for the ride for awhile. |
 |
| Wasn't quite sure she wanted to walk in the snow. |
 |
| But she started getting a bit crazy.. and walked in a few feet. That's it. |
 |
| Traded the sippy cup for a snowboard. |
 |
| Not having any fun at all. |
It was also little boy's 2 month birthday this week!! So naturally we had to take pictures of that!! I love how Avery still somehow makes her way into these pictures as well :)
 |
| These are becoming my favorite pictures. |
 |
| I told them to act like they weren't having any fun at all. |
 |
| Bryan is thrilled. |
 |
| At least I'm getting some good eye contact here |
 |
The progression of Avery's bi-polar disorder.

 |
| Big two month old boy. |
 |
| Gazing off into the distance. |
 |
| Such a little sack of potatoes. |
 |
| I can officially get him to look at me by talking to him. |
 |
| Whoops |
 |
| I love those big bright eyes |
 |
| Tiny boy smiles |
 |
| His arms are constantly moving.. like he is trying to fly |
 |
| Goofy little smile!! |

| Avery's 2 Month Picture |
A long time ago I got a picture of Avery while she was sleeping. It was a closeup of her eye lashes from the side. We loved it so much that we made a canvas out of it and put it up in our room. So, now I am trying to take a similar one of Bryan. I didn't have any luck this week but figured I would post the "outtakes" because they are still adorable.
 |
| His hair looks so dark here. I just love tiny little profiles |
 |
| And tiny little fists. |
 |
| Hair shot!!! Sleeping babies are so damn sweet!! I could stare at this boy sleeping for HOURS!! |
