Let the Hustle & Bustle of the Holidays Begin...

The crazy busy holidays are here and our weekends are jam packed from here on out until after the new year! Last weekend kicked it off! Here is what we were so busy with... 


Grandma Vicki's Birthday:

We went to Dave & Busters for dinner and games to celebrate Vicki's birthday! Everyone had a great time! Avery was a little overwhelmed by all of the stimulation from the noise and lights, but she sure had fun collecting everyone's tickets! 











At the end of the night we piled out tickets together (all 10,000 of them) and got Avery two Nerf Guns! There was nothing else even remotely reasonable for 10,000 tickets! And although she is quite small for these toys now, we did have fun shooting at Daddy when we got home! :) 



Avery's First Day of Sunday School & Operation Christmas Child:


We participated in Operation Christmas Child again this year through church. We made one box on our own and then Avery made two boxes at Grandma Vicki and Grandpa Dave's house when we went per there for dinner last week. Avery packed all kinds of things in each box and helped tape the labels on! Then on Sunday, we brought them to church to be delivered to 3 kids on the other side of the globe! 




While we were downstairs dropping off our boxes, Avery saw tons of kids going I Sunday School. She was asking "mom what these kids all doing?" I told her they were going to Sunday School and she asked "can I try dat?" So, we signed her up as a visitor and sent her in the two year old class with Mrs. Sonya (Mrs. O.). She was off in a half a second and never looked back, so Brandon and I went up to church and were able to enjoy the sermon without spending the whole hour scrambling for books, crayons and snacks trying to occupy a toddler the whole time! She had so much fun, when I went to get her she told me "I'm not ready yet, I'm playing with my friend Barritt" 





Looks like she is ready to start Sunday School I guess?!? 

Gymnastics: 

Avery had a gymnastics make up session in Saturday and she had lots of spectators! Grandma Vicki, Grandpa Dave, Granmda Judy and Great Grandma Johnson (GG) all came to watch! After gymnastics we went to breakfast with Grandma Judy and GG! We had a great morning!! 







Here are a few other gymnastics pictures from this past Monday:
