Santa Arrives Early...

We told Santa that we are leaving on Thursday to go to WV... ho, ho, ho came to our house early since Avery has been a good girl this year.  We were eating dinner last night and Santa called Phillip on the phone and told him that he had just left our house and in the back ground we heard reindeer bells.  How exciting to see Avery come in and look under the tree to find all her presents from Santa. She got a basketball goal and when she first walked in she picked up the ball and shot some hoops...daddy was SO proud ( I think we are going to have a little athlete on our hands).  Here are a few pictures..
The picture above this is her tent...as soon as she played basketball she run over and jumped in her tent.  She discovered a bag of smarties candies in her stocking so she needed a pack of those open.  We opened the smarties candy and while she opened gifts she would come over get a smarties, jump in her tent, shoot a basket and then go back to open presents... priceless.

 

The pillow pet was a HUGE hit!!!



  I always have to get a picture of her from behind...just love how her little feet looked.

 Ring pops were the next thing she needed to open from her stocking...I love the picture below she is eating her ring pop and holding her new babies hand.  Yes, she is truly that sweet.  : )

It can make you sleepy opening so many presents and eating all those fun snacks... Avery crawled in her tent with her pillow pet and rested before getting her second burst of energy...maybe it was a sugar high.

Christmas 2010...Our gift from God above.

Christmas 2008... The most precious gift ever received!!!!!
Now we are heading "over the river and through the woods to mimi, grandad and aunt jenns house"
SO EXCITED!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!

Avery 2010...


 Just a few random pictures of Avery...  SHE IS SUCH a joy!!!!!

 Granty and Uncle T sent Avery a new coat and a new dress...She modeled the coat, hat and the underpants to the dress...  COAT LOOKS SO CUTE and those underpants are a hoot!!!!!

 Avery has her very own drawer in our living room. I came in from the kitchen the other day and this is what I found.  TOO CUTE!!!

Did You Say Bungee Jumping?...

We went Christmas Shopping at the mall over the weekend.  I was shopping in one store and Phillip and Avery went out in the middle of the mall to look around.  Phillip was heading back into the store as I was coming out and he said "momma, Avery wants to bungee jump" I said "Avery is not bungee jumping..." I just thought he was pulling my leg and trying to push my buttons.  Well, my baby bungee jumped!!!  My 2 year old little delicate angel  got her self strapped in and kept her eyes closed the entire time ( we think the eyes closed means she can't see you so surely you can't see her) she was getting put into the harness. I was so proud and Phillip's pride was about to explode.  Avery had the best time!!!!!


Eye's closed..."you can't see me"

She leaned back like this until Phillip took over...

Looking Like Christmas...

 We started to decorate for Christmas at the Popham house.  Here is Avery on top of the tree box...she loves to climb.

 Decorating the tree...

 Avery had the honor of putting the star on top of the tree; daddy is the best helper.

 I love this picture...Avery is so tiny that Phillip can hold her with one hand. 





Love our 3 stockings...waited so many years to hang all 3. My sweet Avery.
