Christmas!!

Avery with Santa!!

Olsen annual gingerbread houses!! Thanks mom!!

So, I'm not really sure why this year has felt more stressful than other years. Maybe because there has been more going on all at the same time...who knows! The parties have been fun and Jake has actually gotten more into them this year which has made it more fun for me too!
Jaymie threw an ugly sweater party which turned out so nice! We did fondue and had a smoked turkey which was amazing!! As we were leaving Jake was laughing and telling me that my sisters are so funny. I asked him what he meant (which I could only imagine! You let Beckee lose and she cracks herself up, which is sooo funny!) He said that Beckee asked Jaymie to ask her what she was doing, and her reply was (as she is eating fondue) "I am fonduing what are you doing?" and then cracks up!! I can totally see her doing that! She is hysterical! (just ask her!!) Just kidding, I love that she can let her hair down and just be her! It was so fun to be with them. Here is a picture of my family's beautiful sweaters! Thanks Aubrey for letting Jake wear yours!!

This past Sunday we had our annual cousin Christmas party. It ended up at our house this year and I was surprised to see that all 50 of us could fit in our basement!! I look forward to the craziness every year and I think the rest of the cousins do too!! (I'm not sure what all those circles are!! They look like dust!?! gross!!)

Quotes by Miss Avery

"Can I sit on your laps?" (meaning lap) Summer 2012

We were watching America's Got Talent the other night and Avery tells me that she wants to go up on that stage, but that I would need to take her since she didn't know where it was. I asked her if she was going to sing or dance. She, of course, said dance! 7/3/12

Avery went with my parents to see Andrew (my cousin) play lacrosse. After the game, they went to get an ice cream cone. My dad asked Avery if she like her cone. She put her hand to her mouth and whispered to my mom "tell him, she's diggin' it!" They laughed so hard. 6/12

I gave Avery a brownie, "I need some milk to drink it down" 2/6/12

When Avery is tired, she tells me that her "eyes are red". 9/2011

I came in from Church to change my clothes and saw Avery laying in my bed. I smiled at her as I walked by, her response "don't smile at my mom, my eyes are tired!" 9/25/11

Fwip-hops=flip flops 5/2011

swim soup=swim suit5/2011

We are in the middle of potty training, Avery had had an accident on the downstairs couch and I told her to run up and finish going potty. When I came upstairs, apparently she had to go too bad because the rug was soaked. As she is sitting there with those big blue eyes, she proceeds to tell me "It's otay mom, you tan tlean it up, it's otay." I told her that it's not okay and she argued with me back and forth! It's not a big deal that she had an accident, but I don't WANT to clean it up!! 03/4/11

I'm sitting in the computer room and Avery is eating some cereal. She yells to me that "Fresh Beat" is over and I yell back that "Go, Diego Go" will be on...she yells back "Otay!!" Obviously, she watches too much TV! 1/17/11

We were driving up to my mom's in the far left lane, driving through the river bottoms where it kind of curves, it was dark so she could see the on coming traffic, when I hear "cars are coming mom, beep!" Apparently, she thought we were going to hit the other cars!! 01/07/11

I delivered dinner to a family and came out crying, Avery asked "you need a tissue mom?". 12/22/10

Avery went to nursery, and she has been having a hard time liking it, but the last two weeks she has actually gone without crying. Apparently, her teacher said that one little girl was crying and Avery went up to her and patted her shoulder and told her "it's okay, I miss my daddy too!" 12/07/10

I was putting Avery to bed, and as I was telling her good night, she asked me "mommy tired?" I answered, "yes". She rolled over and said "Avery tired". And that was that! 11/03/10

At church we were taking the sacrament, after she had gotten the water by herself, she leans over to me and says "that was fun, mom"!! 10-24-10

I was trying to get some cute pictures of Avery in the corn maze, when out of the blue, Avery says "stop pictures, mom" 10-15-10
