Thanksgiving 2008


Avery - the night before the Thanksgiving holiday! We headed to AZ to visit my family last Saturday and stayed for a week. We had a really nice time and enjoyed spending time with family. We have so much to be thankful for this year and are so blessed to have such great friends and family.



Sabino Canyon/Bear Canyon in Tucson, AZ - Nate and I were able to have a nice little getaway while Grandma watched Avery. It was really nice - can't you tell how relaxed we both are?!? We stayed at an awesome resort, hiked during the day and enjoyed a few too many margaritas at night.....



Sabino Canyon/Bear Canyon - 7 falls

San Xavier Mission del Bac in Tucson - one of the places Nate & I visited on our little getway



Aunt Lisa & Grandma with Avery on Friday after Thanksgiving

Grandpa trying to keep Avery from climbing the stairs and trying to prevent her from running away

After Aunt Lisa showed Avery how to climb the stairs (thanks Lisa!), she was unstoppable about pursuing them! So we had to take turns literally sitting on the stairs to prevent her from climbing them. She wasn't too happy about that and tried to bite me at one point! Not nice, Avery!

All bundled up for an early morning walk with Grandpa

Mom & Avery Day!

The cutest Minnie Mouse ear wearing little girl around!
She preferred wearing her hat sideways.
Rockin' her hat sideways with Dad


And later, Avery is wearing her Minnie Mouse hat (with her name on the back) - a gift from Grandma. Notice her 2 little bandaids from her shots on her thighs :(



Avery putting her sunglasses on her head like mom!




Keeping them on with help from mom.












Finally getting them on herself!







Sandy feet! This is probably my favorite picture.








Avery playing with her sandbucket
































I love this picture! That weird thing in front of her is a large airpocket of seaweed.


























Trail of Destruction

Still working on trying to get rid of that paci!!
