Avery's art installation

She draws between 5 and 50 faces a day. We want to make a book- they're wondeful. Jen came over tonight and had dinner. Jen got extensions since we saw her a few weeks ago, Avery dreww her with LONG hair. We loved it. The next photo is Avery drawing herself. She dresses herself today. She's getting too big, and girly.

The holidays are in full swing. We even have snow.

The Advent Calendar Kyle and I made for the kids.

We won!

Over the years we have had so many good costumes, but we never go to any of the fancy contests where you win prizes. So I was excited this year when I stumbled on a few online contest where you just submit pictures. Anyway I was on a site that I have shopped on before www.uncommongoods.com and saw their contest, so I submitted the hotdog from a couple years ago and we won! The prize was $150 gift certificate and free shipping. It totally made my night. Kyle thought I was crazy when I entered it. Yippee.
