Happy New Years!!!!

I hope everyone has a very happy new year for 2011!!!

Also have a safe and super duper fun New Year's Eve tonight!!!  I'm attending a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa's house since my Great Grandma Lucille came into town just to see me, plus I'll get to do all the things I never get to do at home like stay up till midnight eating candy and drinking lots of soda!!!  In fact, to show you how excited I actually am for tonight, here's a video clip of me getting ready to leave for their house ...

Epic Christmas

Just a quick note to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!!!

I know, I know, Christmas was yesterday, but I really needed a day off to relax from everything, even blogging.  I've been so busy working my temporary holiday job at Target these last few weeks that I don't feel like doing anything after work but veg out and watch cartoons.  I promise I'll blog more about my fun filled Christmas in the next few days!!!

Avery's Big Adventure

I finally had time to blog about my Big Trip to the Big Apple that I took a few weeks ago, so sit back and enjoy all my pictures, videos, and memories ...

Avery and Ugly-Doll flying out to the Big Apple ...

... and then starting to search high and low for Auntie Em ...

 

... wait, I think I see someone in the distance ...

... there she is ... I found her and she found me!!!

And then she took me to this huge playground ...

 ... where we went down super fun slides ...

... and ran and climbed around everywhere, like in this video ...

... and I even swung in a neat tire swing ...

... yeah, I spent a lot of time in that swing that day!!!

Oh yeah, Mommy tagged along with me on my trip ... 

this is us eating macaroni-and-cheese 

after a long, long day ... can you tell???

The next day we all went to the zoo with my friend Morgan ... 

and oh yeah, Grandma tagged along on my trip too ... 

maybe she was still jealous that Grandpa  got to

follow me on my beach vacation last summer...

... we saw close-ups of frozen animals ...

... and tons of alive animals too ...

... both from a way down low view ...

... and an up really high view ...

... and we all had some difficult moments ... 

I don't remember what this one was all about ...

... but Mommy knows how to make things better 

... usually with lots and lots of ice cream!!!

We even had fun while waiting in the train stations ... 

here's a nice picture of me smiling ...

... and then here's a nice picture of Grandma & Auntie smiling 

... I guess we'll have to Photoshop these two pics

together sometime for a nice picture of all of us!!!

And did I mention all the CUPCAKES!!!!

We ate cupcakes every day, 

for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!!!

After such long days, we had to rest a lot ...

... and even when Grandma was really really tired, 

she still always had time to answer all my questions!!!

Thanks for the super fun trip Mommy, Grandma, and Auntie Em ... and see you in a few days Auntie Em for Christmas time ... bring lots of presents!!!

Welcome to the Dollhouse ...

Avery playing with her new favorite toy, the Dollhouse

My good friend Nikki brought over a really neat gift that she made for me the other day.  It's a little house that opens up where little people and little pets live, work, and play!  There's a bedroom, dining room, kitchen and a playroom.  There's even real lights that turn on and off and on and off and on and off ...

Thanks, Nikki ... you're the best!!!  Have a nice relaxing winter vacation ... but be ready to play with the Dollhouse and me when you come back next year!.

Avery and Nikki testing out the Dollhouse

Below is a video of me playing with my Dollhouse where it now resides in my room, right next to my bed on the other side of the white picket fence.

Avery, The Great Master Magician

Many of you have probably heard of my great magical powers, now witness one of my greatest magic tricks of all times captured on video ...

Avery's First Ever Girls-Only Sleep-over

Here's a video preview of my big adventure I went on a few weeks ago to the Big Apple.  This video shows some of the night time fun we all had after the sun went down ... more pics, videos, and commentary to come later ...

It's off to shop we go ...

Avery singing her favorite Christmas song 

(while shopping on Black Friday)

Heigh-ho,
Heigh-ho,
It's off to shop we go,
Black Friday's here,
Thus Christmas is near,
Heigh-ho,
Heigh-ho,

Heigh-ho,
Heigh-ho,
Heigh-ho,
We made it through the Target fiasco,
And left with one sock and a bottle of Tabasco, 
Heigh-ho,
Heigh-ho,

Heigh-ho,
Heigh-ho,
Heigh-ho,
I can't believe we wasted all of today,
Next time I'll just wait till Cyber Monday,
Heigh-ho,
Heigh-ho,

Heigh-ho,
Heigh-ho.
Heigh-ho,
It's off to shop we go!!!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

Where am I??!!?! And what is a Tron?!!??!

Avery and Mommy playing on Grandma's iPad

I'm not sure about what exactly happened, but I think Mommy and I need help ... pronto!!!

It all started with Grandma's iPad where Mommy and I were goofing around playing games and such.  Then as it slowly started to mesmerize me with all of it's amazing colors, sounds, and quick responsive action, all sorts of flashes started emitting from it and I felt this pulling sensation towards this reflective portal that opened up over the screen.

 

 Avery mesmerized by the iPad, slowly

being sucked into the reflective portal

And then the unthinkable occurred ... we were inside the machine!!!  We now seem to be digitized into something called the ENCOM mainframe, by the Master Control Program, and are being chased by someone else called Tron!!!  Help us ... please!!!

Digitized into the ENCOM mainframe ... Help us ... please!!!

Uncle Scotty's Beach Wedding

 Avery, Mommy, and Daddy after a very long road trip

A few weeks ago I went on an awesome beach trip where I even got to meet my one and only cousin Trenton ... I didn't even know I had a cousin!!!  I guess Daddy has a brother (Uncle Scotty, Trenton's Daddy) than was having a fancy beach wedding that over doubled the size of their family.  Here's a bunch of pictures of the great time I had ...

This was what Cousin Trenton was doing 

the first time I met him ...

 ... so I joined right in with the fun ...

 ... and then I met everyone else (Uncle Scotty with Trenton 

and their new family, Shawna, Kaleb, and Kushaiah) ...

... and then we watched them all get married on the beach ...

... my Grandparents were even there, all excited ...

 ... we all had so much fun that day

And then the weather the day after the wedding allowed for a super fun beach day ...

 

 Avery and Daddy playing on the beach 

(right before Daddy lost his sunglasses in the ocean) ...

 ... Avery and Mommy playing in a pool just my size ...

 ... my new friend Aubrey was lots of fun too ...

 ... but not as much fun as my Cousin Trenton ...

 ... I had so much fun, I fell asleep right on my feet 

(and into Daddy's lap)!!!
