Eat, Sleep, Repeat

Hi all! Mama took this video at Grandma's over Christmas. I was a little sleepy while munching on my lunch, but I fought hard!

Enjoy!

Holidays 2010

Avery loves Spiderman!

Grandma cried

Aunt Aunnie!

Avery loves gifts, Berlin loves her spoon

Posing in front of the tree

I wasn't supposed to touch the tree, but I did anyway!

Santa came!!

Mmmm, food.

I loved the wrapping the best.

And the boxes too.

Dinner with the cousins!

Hey there! Did you think we disappeared around the holidays?? No, we just traveled! We made the big trip to Iowa. It was long, but worth it! Avery was content watching DVD's in the car, but Berlin was pretty mad the entire trip. She will get into tv soon, I'm sure. We spent a lot of time with family - we hung out with Grandma, Aunt Andi, our cousins Danny and Natalie, our Aunt Becky and Uncle Tom, Grandpa, our Great Grandma and Grandpa Wray, and our many Great Aunts, Uncles, and cousins! It was fun! We got a lot of attention, and loved every minute of it! Santa visited Grandma's house. Opening gifts was the best part, and we even liked what was wrapped in them. We were a little spoiled, but are enjoying it while we are still kiddos. We also spent time listening to Christmas music, baking lots of Christmas treats, playing in the snow, and shopping! Grandma and Aunt Andi played with us every day, so much so, that we were exhausted! My favorite kind of playing! We love to visit with our family, and there's lots of love to go around. We made the long truck home to spend New Year's in Tennessee. We were so tuckered out, we passed out at 7 pm, even though Mommy said we could stay up later. We will see midnight some year! I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and New Year! Can't wait to see you again soon.

Merry Hugs and Happy New Kisses,
Avery and Berlin

Santa Claus!

Ho! Ho! Ho! We recently went to visit Santa (twice! - first time was not a success. I didn't get it, but now I do!). I sat on his lap and told him what I want for Christmas, and Mommy and Daddy said if I am a good boy that Santa will bring what I asked for on Christmas night! I had to give him Grandma's address, though, because we'll be in Des Moines. I don't really know what this whole Santa thing is about, and how it relates to Jesus' birthday (because Santa did not come on Berlin's birthday), but I think I will figure it all out. Berlin did not like Santa at all (can you tell?), so maybe that's why he didn't visit her on her birthday. I told Santa to give her a break, that she's a good baby, so he'll bring her a gift, too. Maybe next year she will stop being afraid of Santa. He's just a jolly man in red!

Merry Christmas!
Aves

B's Birthday

Yum! Cake!

Aves loves cake, too!

Explaining to Mommy that it's his birthday.

I do not like birthday hats.

Happy Birthday Berlin!

Hi there! I had my first birthday party a few weeks ago! It was so much fun! We went to this pizza place called Nashville Pizza Co, and celebrated with friends. My future prom date, Dashton and his big brother, Camden were there, my buddy Noah, and my old daycare teacher, Ms. Janelle and her kiddos. Of course, their parents were there, too, this was a chaperoned party. My big brother, Aves, kept saying it was his birthday, but my name was on the cake! It was yummy! My first taste of chocolate was a big success. I want more! I had such a sugar high, I looked drunk. Drunk on sugar!! Mommy and Dada were so excited for me, but Mama got all emotional at home. She said I am growing up too fast. Can't help myself. There's so many fun things to do now that I am a toddler!

Well, I am sorry if I missed you at my party, but I'll see ya at Christmas!
Big hugs and kisses,
Berlin

Happy Birthday Berlin!
