Avery and I made a road trip to celebrate Christmas with some of the family in Houston. Luke couldn't make it this year b/c he had to preach on Sunday; we really missed him! My dad's side of the family always celebrates the weekend before Christmas. It's always so much fun! All my cousins are there and family that I haven't seen in a long time. Avery loved being around every one. She was so friendly and let anyone and everyone hold her and play with with her. There were plenty of little kids for her to play with too. I love having such a big family and getting to celebrate Christmas with them! All in all, we have 4 Christmas gatherings every year. It's alot of traveling for Avery, but she has loved every second of it. On Sunday after church, Santa always comes to the house and brings all the kids a present. Avery may have loved every one of the 40 people there,but she did NOT like Santa! It was funny and sad at the same time. Poor thing! She did get a little better once he gave her a gift and she opened it. It's ironic as much as she hated Santa, she did say her fifth word this weekend, Santa. Ha! I guess she heard it so many times. She would walk around the house and point to all the Santa decor and say it over and over. Maybe next year she'll be ready for Santa!
We stopped and ate Mexican food on the way down to Houston. Avery sat in my lap and ate half of my enchilada plate while using her fork the whole time! She's getting so big!
