Girl Scout trip to the firehouse
Avery's Daisy Girl Scout troop took a field trip to the local firehouse. The girls enjoyed seeing all of the equipment and asking a LOT of questions. They even got to witness one of the trucks leave on a real emergency. That was their favorite part!

February Fun
Uncle Dave & Aunt Sheila came for a visit this weekend and we had a great time! It was the best weather we have had!
Here they are looking at their new books & having a tea party.
We went downtown to the Jacksonville Landing & had lunch looking out on the St. John's River.
The kiddos enjoyed some ice cream after lunch.
The next day we went to Mickler's Beach in Ponte Vedra. It was beautiful!
Avery had fun hunting for shells.
Cooper had fun playing in the sand.
Then they got brave and closer to the water...and then they got soaked!
We had a great time!

Catching up--January Pictures
I never seem to take a lot of pictures in January, but here are a few to catch you up.
Avery & Cooper being silly :)
Big milestone for Cooper--he moved into his big boy bed this week. He is doing great!
This weekend, Avery's Daisy Girl Scout troop went to a special day at the Jacksonville Symphony. The girls got to try out some instruments and then watched a special presentation of Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham.

Avery's birthday party
We had Avery's birthday party last night. We did a pizza and pedicures party. The girls (10 plus Avery!) came in their pajamas, ate pizza and then got pedicures.
Our babysitter from across the street and her friend came to help out with the pedicures.
While their nails dried, they did a little craft.
Cooper wanted to participate in the craft part (he actually didn't want his nails painted;)
Next was presents and Avery did very well for herself! Lucky girl :) She has some nice friends.
After presents, it was time for brownies and ice cream!
Yummy!
To wind down, we threw down pillows and put on a movie...
...that lasted for about half an hour and then they were off playing again. Avery had a great time!
(On Avery's actually birthday she got to go to build-a-bear with grammy and auntie and mommy and Cooper. I have pictures from that too that are also on the non-working memory card. So, hopefully I will have more pictures to post soon!)

Christmas morning is when my camera decided to stop working--my memory card anyway. So, most of my Christmas pictures are on a card that my camera can't read. I am hoping the 'Geek Squad' can figure it out! Here is a picture of the kids in their new shirts...Avery's chihuahua shirt from Santa (she wanted a real one, but got the shirt and a webkinz instead!) and Cooper's 'motorcycle' shirt as he calls it. He has worn it 5 days in a row!
Because we didn't travel home for Christmas, we had an overflow of gifts all under our tree! Here are the kiddos taking a break on their new bean bags.

Merry (early) Christmas!!!
We missed going out in the snow in Maine to cut our own tree this year. A grass lot on the side of the road just doesn't have the same feeling. However, we got a very nice tree and the kids had fun helping us decorate it.
Make a silly face Coop!
Papa was down our way for a business conference and we were lucky enough to have him come over for dinner and bedtime stories :)
Looking up at the lights.
Avery loves decorating for holidays :)
Matt is leaving tomorrow on detachment for three weeks. So, we celebrated with our little family early today. We opened gifts from each other and let the kids each open one from us.
Cooper was SO excited to open up a matchbox truck that hauls matchbox cars! :)
Avery wore her Christmas dress for the occasion (so cute!) She was very excited to open up a Barbie pet vet set :)
Matt was very excited to open up a new toy too--PS3! And a new game and controller from Mom and Dad (mine). We were both excited to open a Keurig coffee machine from Mom & Dad (his) and I was excited to open a beautiful diamond ring from my hubby!
Here is our little family Christmas photo. We are grateful that we had today to spend together.
