Avery's First Christmas

What an absolute blessing it has been to have Avery this Christmas! She has been a joy to Mark and I and we have been brought to tears the last few days as we've spent the holidays with our sweet baby girl. It was so awesome to be able to take her to Christmas Eve service at church last night and it was so special to wake up this morning with the best Christmas gift either of us will ever receive.
We spent the day at the Shelfer's house and had a wonderful time with Mark's family. Avery was able to meet many family members for the first time. She did great and yet again slept through most of the festivities. I can't help but think about how much fun next Christmas will be with a one year old!!!
