Weekend Wrap Up: Gigi and Granddad Edition

My parents (Avery's Gigi and Granddad) moved into their new house earlier this week.  I'm talking drinking-out-of-paper-cups type of just moved in.  We had an engagement party/couples shower for my cousin in Dallas to attend so we figured we would just make a weekend out of it and see the new house.  Side note- who do I need to write a strongly worded letter to about the construction on I35W.  I mean seriously.  4.5 hours to get here??  When it normally takes 3 or less??  Come on.  I don't have patience.  I was too impatient to stand in line to wait for it.

My cousin Lindsey and I at her couples shower.  I can't wait for the wedding in April!  It'll be a party for sure!

Watching "the movie that shall not be name" (read: Frozen) with Granddad.

Never mind there's a chair there...it's more fun to lay under than table and watch your favorite movie.

Someone loves to be outside.  Thankfully it was warm enough she only needed a light jacket. ...name that movie...

Avery loved to play ball with Ellie.  She hasn't quite grasped the concept that Ellie has to run to get the ball.  Jacob or my dad would throw the ball and Ellie would jet off to get it...to which Avery would start yelling, "No Ellie No!"

Conversations with a toddler are my favorite:

"Avery, are you having fun?"

"Yah"

"Avery, love you"

"Luh you momma"

"Can you say cheese?"

"Sheesh"

Christmas 2014

A picture review of Christmas 2014....or if you follow me on Instagram (which you should...) #TerkelsenChristmasShenanigans

Red cup in hand, let's get this party started.

Baking cookies with Memaw!

Having a conversation about what Santa is bringing her.  I believe her response was, "applesauce".

Looking at lights in downtown Frisco

"Hi tree!"

Last minute shopping at playing at the Galleria

Playing with her second cousin, Parker.

Avery with her second cousin, Sydney.  They almost share a birthday!

Getting ready to go to Uncle Josh's church for a Christmas Eve service.

....so naturally we bust out in "If You're Happy and You Know It..."  Say Hooray.

All this Christmas-ing is exhausting.

The thug life chose her.  The Christmas thug life.  Ho Ho Ho.

Santa brought a doll bed, chair, and mini toy box!

Opening up so many awesome presents sure does work up an appetite.

Post present opening "Frozen" viewing.

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Well....yes.

After Christmas shopping and I run into one of my favorite Instagram personalities!

Opening presents at Christmas #2 with Gigi, Granddad, Dede, Uncle Jeremy, and Aunt Valerie

That face...melt me.

Dede loved his Baylor tie!  We can't wait to see him wear it when he gets his Alumni By Choice award from President Starr in February!
