What's the Password?

Do you have trouble remembering all of your passwords? I swear it seems like there is a password for everything these days. Can you remember when the only password you needed was for the clubhouse? Me too.

We, Dustin and I, have a password we are supposed to use for everything and it works great until the bank, paypal, mortgage company, ect tell you its time for a password update. No, that wasn't the plan. We really need to keep our same password.

I cant tell you how many times I've locked myself out of an account trying to guess the what we changed our password to.

Dustin now has an "ap for that".

I'm Electric

I think I produce more static than anyone I know.

I get shocked at the self checkout, when I give kisses, opening doors, and my hair sticks out 2 feet on all sides.

Seriously.

Traditions

(Random but it just tickles me when I hear that you guys read this thing!)

We are starting to develop Christmas traditions for our little family, I love it! You already know that we set up our tree early, ok really early, and that we go to the Christmas Parade. (oh, how did that go? she slept through half but watched the other half gleefully bundled in a fuzzy jjcole) This weekend we are going to ride the Pink Pink, it will be a first for both Dustin and Avery, I'm equally excited for both. I wanted to take them both to the Festival of Trees but after getting their hopes up, I found out it doesnt exist any more. Scratch that for a tradition.

Christmas Eve we will leave cookies and milk for Santa, on one of the three sets we have. How did we get three? (thanks for asking) I mentioned it to Mom, and of course, she was on top of this and bought one last year for little Avery. After searching "everywhere" and not finding it, we bought a second. It's cute but a week later we found a set at Pier 1, combining this round one, the salad plus the mug, and thought it was perfect! That same afternoon, we were decorating Mom and Dad's tree.. yep, we found the original cookies for Santa set. So thats the story of the three. Glad you asked? So, back to traditions, growing up we read the Christmas story every Christmas Eve. I think our (for now) trio will do the same.

For your patience, and my joy, here are some pictures.

What are you giving this year?
What are you asking for this year?

We wont tell.

Parade

The Christmas Parade is tonight! I cant wait for Avery Cate to see all the lights, hear the music and cuddle close with me to keep warm. (don't fret, we are sitting in the back of the car)

Of course, she dressed festive for the event.

I was unloading all of her things this morning at daycare and I noticed she was gone. Out of her car seat and out of the room. She's getting new skills every day but I don't think unbuckling, crawling or walking are her thing just yet. Also missing was one of her teachers.

Just in time for me to give her kisses before I left, the teacher brings Avery back from her own parade around the classrooms to show off her festive attire.

It's a Parade Day!

Birds and Baby

(I'm thrilled with the Zulily responses. I hope you all find it as fun as I do!)

I also wanted to give a Shutterfuly shout out too- quickly. We placed a big order on Sunday and some things already arrived with others already shipped. Amazing!

In addition to all of our Christmas preparations, I am picking up goodies for a baby shower this weekend. I was looking at the registry and reminiscing about Avery's first week in this world. It was months ago and so much has happened since so I enjoyed letting my mind wander while I wandered through the isle collecting gifts for these two love birds and their baby girl.
