What a fun year this was for us to watch Avery enjoy Christmas. There were no tears shed this year as she saw Santa. In fact, I wasn't sure she would even say hi to him this year. So when we passed him in the San Angelo mall, I had no intention of getting her picture made yet (you know, she didn't have a Christmas shirt on or matching bow in her hair, oh my). But I wish I would have gotten it on film. She had the sweetest twinkle in her eye when she saw him and walked right up to him and touched his coat to get his attention, grinning ear to ear. She crawled right up in his lap and asked for a horse! Luckily this smart-thinking Santa explained that his elves could only make toy horses and asked if that would be ok instead, shwew. I think he could have told her anything at that point, she was just so happy to be with Santa! We also got the best smile out of her while sitting in his lap....it was such a sweet moment.
She gave many "ohs" and "ahs" when she found the horse that Santa had left. Right away she asked if she could sit on it and was thrilled to find that it actually moves and neighs and makes clopping hoof noises. Its the neatest thing and can pick up some speed when on the side walk. She named it Max like the horse in Tangled and feeds it imaginary apples. She also got a tent play house, a bath time Arial doll and the soft princess Disney dolls Belle and Sleeping Beauty or "booty" as Aves calls her. She was loved it all and we so much enjoyed the smile on her face.
A happy horse-owning girl and a proud daddy enjoying the scene.
No arguing for this pose. She was so happy!
I've been finding mysterious pictures on my camera from very low angles.... and I'm thinking it's not Dave.
Raw family portrait, no judging, this is how family portraits are suppose to look on Christmas morning.
Inside her play house. She insists you knock so that she can say, "who is it?"
Cousins ready for pictures to be over with and presents to be opended!
Finally a group picture with the James, a bit blurry but still a keeper.
And of course there has to be a silly one!
So cute, enough said.
Once she opened these gloves, she wore them the rest of the day and napped in them the next.
