Almost done...

Thanks to Bonnie, I can now try to upload some pics. Below is a picture of our house, all lit up for Christmas.

The icicle lights are red and white, hard to distinguish in the picture.



Anyways, I braved the Christmas crowds yesterday and did most of my shopping for Bryon. He wanted all these video games, so he's not getting much. I felt defeated after I bought a few and they were 60 bucks a pop. Yikes. But, he hasn't bought new games in at least a year, so I conceded. Crowds were polite (I KNOW!) and though it was busy, the other stores I went into were pretty quiet. Most of the crowd was at Santa Claus. We'll see Santa as it grows closer to the event; I don't feel like standing in a crowd with needy, spoiled kids for 20 minutes. Last year we were the only ones, and were embarrassed as Avery chose that moment to leak through her diaper. It was just a little, but I felt bad. Poor Santa.


And, just because I can now, are a few pictures of Avery. She's 20 months now, and becoming sassier by the minute.
