Merry Christmas!

Christmas was great this year. Avery understood what was going on and was so excited for Santa to come, and more importantly, Baby Jesus! Because Christmas is Jesus' birthday, she received a nativity scene on Christmas morning. The big ticket item was her Cinderella princess doll. She loved it, but of course loved the princess coloring book she got just as much. Everyone was very generous to her. We spent the rest of the day just relaxing and not driving all over Michigan! We even spent time at the playground. Grandpa Johnston and GB came later that night and spent the week with us. It was a lot of fun and Avery really enjoyed all the extra attention. We even got to go out on New Years Eve! We really enjoyed their time here. We're ready for more visitors any time!
