The best Christmas present ever....Avery felt so good. Not one complaint all day which doesn't happen too often. She had 2 chemo's through her port just 3 days before so we were worried how she'd feel. Her ANC was just 600 so we had to be careful, but we got to enjoy a lot of fun times. I love spending time with my family, all three of them are such a joy. We have survived 8 months of treatments so far with 19 months to go. My countdown on the blog page says 574 days left. Still so far to go, but glad we have a lot of days behind us. Seems like such a long time, but we reached a huge milestone and made it through the most active part of treatments-the 5 phases before maintenance. Over these last 8 months we remember all the support....the kind words, phone calls, notes, service, meals and generosity. Having people care so much keeps us going. Thank you!
Christmas Eve-Avery and Uncle Kyle having a competition to see who's hair grows back the fastest.
Avery and Kelsi spreading their reindeer dust that Aunt Catie gave them.
Acting out the nativity at Grandma house! Carson was baby Jesus, Kelsi was a shepherd, Avery was Mary and Kyle was such a trooper and was the donkey.
Kelsi wanted barbie's and a vacuum for Christmas and Avery wanted barbie's and a guitar.
I love these three!

It's always fun to celebrate the last day of the hardess part of treatment, Good-bye phase 1,2,3,4 & 5 so glad that is behind us! I'm glad she has learned how to take pills as it looks like she will be popping a lots for a while. Hoping she has more good days than bad days as we love to see her smile and be able to run and play! Lots of good times to look forward too! Christmas was fun and that is always a bonus!! Prayers for Avery as we still have a long way to go but we are getting there on day, one week, one month at a time!! 1 year and 7 months to go! Good Luck on January 4th when you start her next phase of treatments. YOU CAN DO IT!!
