Turkey Projects

This afternoon was spent making turkey cookies with Avery's best friend Handley. The girls enjoyed decorating the sugar cookies. If only I could stop Avery from eating the frosting and candies before the cookie was complete. She is just like her mom! We love the sugar!


At school Avery made Trevor and I the sweetest Thanksgiving card. It has a sweet poem inside of it and we will definitely be putting it in the memory box.



Lastly, Avery and I have been working on our Thankful Turkey. She thought of some things to be thankful for (Mommy and Daddy, Santa Clause, green leafs) and I added two (family and health). We have it in the kitchen and it turned out pretty cute!

Our Baby is 4 Weeks!

Yesterday was Dylan's four week birthday! Today we had his one month doctors appointment. He weighed in at 8 lbs 12 oz. He was two inches longer and is doing well. I can't believe how fast time is flying. We sure are blessed to have such a good boy!



Avery asked for two ponies with braids today. She looked pretty cute for school with her new hairstyle. I guess I need to get some more bows or maybe even some ribbons!




Avery had her second round of flu mist today at the drs and the H1N1 vaccine. It was not so much fun for her. However, we stopped at Chick Fila for a peppermint milkshake and she didn't stop drinking it until it was gone. So...I think she is feeling a bit better.



Lastly, a new reindeer headband.

Flying Solo

Today Avery had a blast at the Playgroup Thanksgiving Party. Thankfully Carrie Beth, Handley, and Harper took her to the celebration while Dylan and I had some alone time. They made foam turkey's, colored, ate snacks, and played with their friends outside. She was so happy when she came home. It made her day to get out and have some fun with her friends. Thank you for letting Avery tag along Carrie Beth! She loved it!

Playdate at Ammy and Bamps

Today the kiddos and I made our first trip up to Alpharetta. They were both great. I was nervous about the drive and not being able to reach Dylan. He was on his best behavior though. Tally and Truss came over too. As you can see the cousins were dressed alike. We didn't even plan it!

We had a great visit! Avery's day was made, Bampa came home from work to play with her! I think we will be making these trips more often. It was a wonderful Wednesday!

Next time, Avery promises to take a picture too!

Love 'em!

I love my kiddos! I am just soaking up all the cuddling I can while Dylan is still tiny! He is such a sweetie! I could hold him and kiss him all day long. (all day long is one of Avery's favorite things to say these days)

As each day passes Avery is more and more interested in her baby brother. Today she even asked to hold him. It makes my heart swell to see her starting to love him. I can't even imagine how much better it will get. Okay, so I am anticipating a few fights here and there. However, you can't help but love these two little cuties!

Bassinet

The Parro's lent us the cutest bassinet for Dylan to use while he can. I just had to snap a picture. Thank you!

Thank you

Aunt Karen and Uncle Clint for the handmade hats! They are adorable! We can't wait until the cold weather rolls in and the kiddos can wear them! As you can see Avery loves hers already!




We took our family Christmas card pictures today. Here are the after the party shots.... a lollipop for Avery and a nap for Dylan. I sure hope we got one good one!
