How Avery stole the show on Christmas day.



It was a wonderful Christmas day, mild temperature and sunny. We left our home as soon as Avery woke, off to Kaki and Pop's house for a day of Christmas family fun. Hillman and I dropped her off at the grandparents, and went for a wonderful run through Franklin. We never get to run together anymore so this is quite a treat! When we returned, my aunt Mickie, her husband Tim, and Oliver had arrived. We walked into a home filled with family, and the smell of yummy christmas food that made your stomach growl instantly! Avery was a hoot! Running around, getting into everything possible! Feeding the dogs bows,trying to eat a few herself, helping everyone open presents, squeeling in delight as her new toys rattled and oinked, mooed and sang. It was such a wonderful delight! I have always loved Christmas day, I love getting together with my family and sharing a day full of family stories, some new, some we have heard quite a few times yet still pretend that we haven't heard them before. This year, watching my little bug was all I needed, along with the rest of the usual Christmas happenings, she certainly stole the show. Everyone had a renewed since of Christmas cheer this year! It was Avery! She has brought so much joy to our whole family. After really yummy food, we got everything together and headed home to Greenbrier. Avery slept all the way home. What a day! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! ~H, K and Ave.
