Christmas 2010

We had a wonderful first Christmas with Avery. It was so special having a little one with us. We were fortunate to spend several days with Seth's family in Idaho Falls. During our stay we were able to spend time with all of his siblings which was so fun. We celebrated Seth's sister Kristen's birthday, had a pizza and karaoke party, lunch at Cafe Rio, a piano recital from our nieces and nephew Emma, Amy and Johnny. And most of all just enjoyed being together as family during the Christmas holiday. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the season.

Avery loves tags. When she opened these cute clothes from Grandma and Papa Stout she was so excited to chew on the tags. Her other favorite part of opening presents were the ribbons. She loved them so much we could hardly get her to open the present.

Avery couldn't get enough of the Christmas Tree. Grandma Ahlstrom had such fun things on her tree that Avery had to touch and taste everything!

Wow Santa was sure good to Avery. He brought her just what she wanted. Violet the talking puppy that she went crazy over in Target.

Here is Avery enjoying time with her cousins Preston, Kalli and Kassidy.

This is a picture of Avery opening her musical table from Grandma and Papa Stout. She opened the night prior to our trip to Idaho Falls. My favorite part was when she actually sat on the edge of the package as she was trying to open it (see below). It was so cute
