Santa

 Getting ready to go see Santa!

 Brody said this Christmas tree was Amazing!!!

 Being silly.

 They loved Santa!  I was shocked that Brody went right up to him and starting talking and smiling!  He was so happy to see Santa.  Of course Avery loved him too and talked his ear off!

Skates

 Nana got Avery her first pair of skates.  Avery can talk Nana into anything!  She told her she wanted skates, knee pads, elbow pads, and a helmet!  And, Nana did just that!  She loves them, but they sure make me a little nervous!! But, at least she is well protected! 

PARTY!!
