Yesterday we went to the Stone Oak Winter Festival. David had plans to go to the deer lease again but decided to go with us to the fest and then leave from there. It was short sleeve weather when we left, but after we got there and were strolling around, it started misting and the wind picked up. Also, Avery had to go tee tee and there were only port-a-pottys (GROSS!) David took off to the deer lease so that left me with holding Avery because she was cold and getting wet, while I was trying to push the stroller with one hand(not umbrella stroller). Plus I didn't know what I was going to do with the stroller with all our stuff in it while I was in the port-a-potty with Avery. So our festival outing lasted about an hour. Avery did get to take a pic with Blue which was very exciting...she kept giving him high fives....
Daddy was just "thrilled" to see Blue as well!
In this pic, Avery is giving her toy that we brought to the Toys for Tots. I was afraid that she wasn't going to give it up, but she was such a big girl and everyone thought she was such a doll. 
There wasn't much to do there for little Avery except for one bouncy thing, but the line was ridiculous. The line was even longer to play in the real live snow (which was all packed down and brown by the time we got there) and even longer to see Santa! We DID stand in line to go down the huge slide...but when it was me and Avery's turn the "conductor" of the slide said that Avery was too short. I asked if I could go with her and he said, "only one at a time". So Avery didn't ride or slide or bounce on anything this trip. There was a little game that enticed us though.... The sign said "Prize Everytime" and all that was there was a kiddy pool full of different 
colored rubber ducks and frogs...how easy for Avery! As soon as it was David and Avery's turn, Avery was reaching in for her frog and the lady said to David "Two dollars!" OK....too bad there wasn't a sign with the "Prize Everytime" sign that said "$2 per duck/frog". Hmmm...oh well, fun and games for Avery at least...don't really know what the "game" was because after she picked up a frog she went into the little covered area and picked out what she wanted to get for the $2! Still haven't figured out what the purpose of the little kiddy pool was for.

HA! This pic cracks me up...I notice, after I have written everything, the fine detail. As you can see Daddy and Avery are picking out the "prize". Can you guess what it is yet? You can see the "Prize Everytime" sign...and if you look real close you can see the lady in yellow actually holding up her fingers stating that she needs $2 from the lady in blue while at the same time her child also in blue is bending over picking out his duck/frog!!
And here is what Avery chose.....first swing after we got home was at the Christmas tree....

That is cracking me up! Sounds like your intentions were good! LOL
You went!!! We didn't make it. With Ryan being sick, a baby shower running over, we just couldn't get ourselves together. Dang, that would have been a perfect place to meet up.
I hear ya with carrying the kid and strollering at the same time. i once had to do it with two kids and pushed the stroller with my belly. ohhh the joys!! nice work on the tree. that is the cheapest tree i have every heard of NICE WORK!
