Thanksgiving 201

This year for Thanksgiving, Mama & Daddy met Dru down here in Florida so we could all be together.

PopPop and CiCi missed their girls and enjoyed their time together....

just hanging out, or cooking

This was Avery's 1st Thanksgiving, and she was big enough to sit in her highchair with us at the table...

After all that good food, we needed to jog a few laps around the neighborhood with Ali...

We are so grateful and have so much to be thankful for!

Future Flying Friends...

At Thanksgiving Uncle Dru flew down from Beaufort, SC.  

We took the girls out to the airport to meet him and go for a quick flight... 

Don't Ali & Bryleigh look like little celeb's?

A few Christmas picts for this year...

The special big sister...

The little sister...

 

"...got any grapes?"

Ali came home from Shelia's one day saying something that sounded like "waddle, waddle, suie"

We had no clue what song or show that came from, so we asked Ms. Shelia, and we googled it...

nothing... but we did find this funny story about a duck!

listen to this and you can be in on our inside joke~

"...got any grapes?"

Ali is so funny, and so silly... she doesn't miss a thing - 

out of nowhere today, she said "may i have some grapes?"  

this is the proper way of asking politely! 

Ali is so much fun!  I love you girlie ;)

11/11/11 @ 11:11... What were you doing?

LOL.  At 11:11 on 11/11/11, we were all eating lunch at Firehouse after a fun morning with Ali & Avery at Tumbleweeds.   

Avery's almost 4 months... she likes her fist/fingers/thumb... so precious!

Ali & Avery taking a nap in the pack n' play...

MY baby dolls!

 Our crown molding in the dining room is up!  

Avery's 3 1/2 months...

These are just a few of the cute pictures that I've taken in the last couple weeks.

Avery 3 1/2 months old now and is almost 12 pounds.  She is getting big fast!
She is talking up a storm and has the best smile... she smiles a lot!
Especially at her big sister ;)

Avery sitting up by herself... for a few seconds!

 She's rolling over from back to front... 

 

 She found those fingers!!!

We are really enjoying this Florida Fall weather - 

Ali holds Avery and talks to her about the big waves.  

Then she lets go of her, and Avery falls face first into the sand... oops! 

 Ali helped me give Avery her first big girl bath... I'm sure the first of many more!

 It is so cute to see Ali and Avery together.  Very rarely do you see them together when Ali is not holding Avery's hand.  Ali is really a good big sister, Mommy's big helper, and Daddy's girl!
