Ready for Christmas


I made these yesterday at Super Saturday. I think they turned out really cute. One is for me and one is for a friend, I wish she could have come!
Im ready to put up my Christmas tree! 
(I thought this would be a really appropriate spot for the photo because behind the signs is our Poinsettia. That thing has hung on for 3 years! Have you ever heard of a $3 Poinsettia from Harris Teeter living that long? Its a crazy plant that probably deserves a post of its own!)

Private Screening



Avery hosted a private screening of Land Before Time for all his dino buddies. He carefully arranged them making sure everyone could see. 

We are in the middle of a major dinosaur craze, or as Avery says "dinoshore". He knows all their names, T-Rex, Pterodactyl, Triceratops, Dimetridon,  and of course the favorite stegosaurus. He knows more, but I can never remember them all!

We have really tapped into our creative side over here! Avery has developed a love of paints just like his Mama. Although he prefers to "paint the water" rather than the paper but we are working on it. Oh and I don't usually paint topless either-we didnt want any stains! He had a great time and he painted every page in that book! Good job Avery!
