Ho Ho Ho.......Avery's First Choochmas

***Sidenote*** We lovingly nicknamed Avery our "little Chooch".....so fittingly, this Christmas became Choochmas (as it was ALL ABOUT AVERY this year)****


What a wonderful (and utterly exhausting) Christmas season this was :)

Aunt Rae came in town for a visit and met her neice for the very first time! Needless to say, the meeting was a HUGE success for both parties involved :) The Thompson's (Party of 3) got to spend time with The Rizzo's, The Thompson/Karr's, The Indovina's and The Harrison/Drebert's this holiday season. As Christmas fell on a Monday, we traveled from house to house from Friday-Tuesday.......collected and exchanged presents, and got to spend some very FUN family time. Avery handled the holidays very well and when it came time for it to be over.........looked kind of distraught :/

Merry, Merry Christmas everyone..........2006 has brought many blessings to my family's life (especially in the form of a very cute 4 month old)......I only hope 2007 can be half as successful!

Avery Meets Great Aunt Ingrid and Cousin Wendy :)

It was so nice to spend some time with my godmother,Aunt Ingi and cousin, Wendy. Too much time has gone by since we all spent time together and I am so glad that we were able to hang out during the holidays. Here are some pics of Avery with Aunt Ingi and Wendy..... They are both such special people and I have such fond memories of them both when I was growing up. Both of them have gone through struggles in the past few years and I just wish them nothing but contented happiness for 2007! I love you guys (and by the looks of these pics, so does your great neice/2nd cousin) and I hope that we can spend some more time together really soon!!!!!
