Kate's 3rd Birthday

February 16th

I can't believe Kate is really 3. She is such a great big sister, she loves Avery sooo much. She is definately a girly girl, a skirt every day!!! She makes us smile with her cute personality and the funny things she says. We love her and her blonde curls so much!!

Avery 4 months

This is our little Avery at 4 months.

14 lbs 7 oz

24 5/8 in

She is so healthy and getting big soooo fast. She is such a good and happy baby. She loves to be wrapped up tight to go to sleep and she is for sure a mamma's girl.

She loves sitting in her Bumbo seat(the first one we've had, they can use it as soon as they can hold their heads up)
Avery loves sucking on her hands, but we have prevented her from being a thumb sucker (you can always take the binky away)

She has dark brown eyes like Hannah, which I am very excited about, now we are even with blue and brown eyes.

Avery pretty much sleeps through the night which is a first for our kids usually they are about 1 year.

Avery is full of smiles and is starting to kind of laugh when she gets tickled. She smiles the biggest for her brother and sisters!!

Christmas 2010

Christmas Eve at the Jones'

Our first year doing the Nativity, the kids loved it and we even had a baby Jesus

Notice the dads got to participate too.

New jammies

Our Christmas morning

My parents came over to see what the kids gifts and enjoy cinnamon rolls with us.

Christmas day at the Jenkins

Kate would not leave Austin's side almost all day.

Austin and Shawnee got all the kids something...

Little hats for all of them, they were so excited. Here is Avery modeling hers.

What a great Christmas, full of memories.

Wintertime

Snowman making... Kate did start out with a hat on, but got to hot.

It was fun watching Erik lift that middle ball onto the base.

Going to Christmas Village. A tradition I remember as a child. This was our Jenkins family's first visit. The weather was pretty warm so we decided to go. The magic was definitely there for the kids, they had a great time. Thanks to Erik's mom who watched Avery so we could go.

Avery's Blessing

Avery's Blessing was great. Erik did a wonderful job and gave her a beautiful blessing. Avery did great too. I didn't get any pictures of just her in her dress (I was a little preoccupied have about 30 people over to our house afterwards for lunch)but she looked so pretty.

Here she is with my Grandparents. Her only set of Great Grandparents.

Her brother and sisters love her soooo much. I am so glad they treat her so cute and aren't jealous of all the attention she needs from me.

Our family isn't so little anymore. We feel so blessed so have these 4 beautiful, healthy children that we have the opportunity of raising.

What a day to remember...
