The Greatest Show on Earth!

Today we were able to go to the circus with the entire Trussell Family! What a blast! We got there an hour before show time. This allowed us to get down on the floor and see the clowns and animals up close and personal. Avery's favorites were the pony, goats, doggies, and elephant.

Next, we made our way up to the suite. Grama, Grampa, Tally, Jake, Tessa, Tricia, and Kyle were all there waiting for us. We had delicious food and drinks. Being able to get up and walk around was another perk of our special spot. The view was nice too! We were up just high enough that we could see all the action. The circus has definitely changed since I was a kid. The lights, tricks, and special effects were wonderful. It was an amazing afternoon. Avery soaked it all up! She loved every second! I think we all enjoyed ourselves. Thanks for spoiling us Dad! It was a great show and a great afternoon!

Tessa Comes to Altanta

On Thursday morning at 6:30, Tessa arrived in Georgia. It had been a while since her last visit and we were all very glad to see her. On Thursday, we made it to music class and lunch. On Friday, we all went to dinner together to celebrate her internship match. Another year in California :( But very exciting news! On Saturday, we all had lunch together in Alpharetta. And on Sunday, we were off to the circus! It has been a whirlwind, but so much fun!



Tricia gives Avery a horse she can ride herself. Avery loves her new horsey and wants Aunt Tricia to babysit more often!



Avery all bundled up and ready to go play outside in the cold!

The Weekend at the Lake

Today we got home from a wonderful trip to the lake. We went to Lake Keowee with our friends the Poseners. It was tons of fun. We loaded up the car first thing Saturday morning. We had a six people, two dogs, tons of luggage, toys, and enough food to stay a week. Thank goodness for Robbies luggage rack thingy! We may have over packed, but we didn't forget anything. The weather was perfect! A few of the weekend activities included going for walks, playing on the deck, we hiked to see a waterfall, and went in a tunnel that was made for train and since abandoned. It was the perfect getaway and chance to be outside enjoying our company. Avery had a blast! She loved playing with Handley and having a sleepover. I think her favorite part was the bath. Handley and Avery got to get in the tub together. Avery couldn't stop squealing. She was so excited!

Two weekends ago Avery and I spent the night in Alpharetta. Of course, we had a great time. I didn't take too many pictures but I did get one of Auntie Tally teaching Avery how to play the piano.



I wanted to post these pictures of Avery with her first pony tail. I did pig tails once but thought these were cute too!
