Avery has become a master of the cheese face. I ask her to smile nice and the smile just gets even more ridiculous. What can you do? Looks like we will have lots of photos with Avery looking like she is in pain for the unforeseeable future!

We had a fantastic visit from my folks. They came in on Tuesday and left today. They were able to take A to preschool and gymnastics and we even went to the turf for some rambunctious time. They took Avery shopping for some early Christmas presents and built a gingerbread house. They even convinced her to get a real haircut at a salon. She got some hair bling tied in as well as a bribe, but it fell out (her hair is too fine). Sam and I got out most of yesterday leaving the 3 of them up to their own devices. She apparently told them at bedtime she HAD to sleep with them. When asked why she said she had to because they were leaving tomorrow :( She misses all her grandparents! Today was hard. She was whiny and misses them. Even though they spent most of today in town stuck at the airport waiting for their flight to sneak out in between weather! They made it out and lucky they did too because they are calling for 14 inches of snow by tomorrow evening. I like snow, but I am starting to feel like I am getting snowed in. Not all parts of Juneau are like this, but because we live within 2 or so miles of the glacier we are just a tad colder and the snow is sticking around.

Avery is VERY excited about Christmas. I was hoping she would sit on Santa's lap this year, but our first attempt was a fail. If I can figure out how to get my scanner to work I will get this years Santa visit attempt up here. Sam is scheduled to be off so it should be a nice little holiday for us. Avery's big gift is a little lame, we got her a twin bed and I made her a quilt. But, she wants a cat really really bad. Santa will definitely have to work his magic with that wish!
