Here are a few pics I didn't add under my last post about Christmas, but here's Avery's first time seeing Santa and Mrs. Claus at Costco! She didn't really care about Santa. All she wanted to do was stare at Mrs. Claus!
Before Christmas, I, Nathan, and Bethany (my mission companion from England who stayed with us for 3 weeks) went up American Fork Canyon. It was so beautiful because it had just snowed about 6 inches!
There was a frozen lake that we played on. It took Nathan a good 5 minutes of convincing before I would walk on it. I really thought I was going to fall through the ice. Too many movies, I guess!
We also walked up a nice trail. We didn't want to carry Avery in her car seat because the trail was so steep, but we didn't have anything else to carry her in to keep her warm, so Nathan carried her in his "pouch" -- his nice warm jacket that we zipped up over her. It looked so funny; I was kinda glad we didn't see anyone else on the trail. Avery didn't seem to mind a bit.
While we were walking on the trail, we wanted her to have her first experience eating snow. Here's what happened:
Now Avery has the strength of the beaver and the swiftness of the fox. :)
That video is too funny! She wasn't too thrilled with the idea of eating snow ha ha :)
ReplyDeleteHey, Jelaire!!
ReplyDeleteThe Maxter Portwell post was just a joke to tick off my sister-in-law. She is naming her next male-child Porter Maxwell, and she threatened me with my life if I stole the name. (Even though she is not even pregnant or anything. Sheesh.) Anyway, it's a girl. We probably won't make it to Rexburg in Feb. cuz the baby will only be a couple of weeks old and Travis doesn't have time off of school. Dangit! I wish I could go. It would be so fun to see everyone. But...anyway. Your family is so cute. I'm glad I found your blog.
