And we have a winner. . .

Well in true Hart fashion our weekend was full of drama and ups and downs. Sweet Kaylen missed out on her school's fall festival and all the fun that comes with Halloween because she came down with a nasty bug. She managed to put on her adorable pirate costume and trick-or-treat around our block, but she came home, checked out her candy and was asleep within fifteen minutes. She didn't go to school again today, but my trusty assistant Kaylen felt up to helping me draw a name for our little blog contest!

And the winner is. . . . .

Congratulations, Laura! It looks like you have gotten a fun head start on your Christmas shopping! Thanks for all of your comments, I hope you'll stop by again sometime:)

Avery Elizabeth

Little Miss Avery is four years old and a true miracle. At four months old she was diagnosed with a rare disease called tuberous sclerosis. She has tumors on her brain, kidneys, heart and skin. In January of '07, a few days after her first birthday she underwent two brain surgeries to remove two of her multiple tumors in an attempt to stop the dozens of seizures she was having every single day. Sadly, the seizures came back a few months after that surgery and we have been fighting them ever since. In September of '08 Avery was diagnosed with autism and in January of '09 doctors added the adjective "severe" to the diagnosis. Despite her challenges, Avery is full of life, curious, and the love of our lives!

Kaylen Rose

Kaylen is seven years old, and the glue that holds our family together. She has an amazing sense of humor for such a little person, and keeps us all laughing. She loves, High School Musical, Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers. She is part of a junior dance company and takes jazz, tap, ballet and gymnastics. Kaylen has the biggest heart of any little girl I've ever met. She truly cares about other people, and goes out of her way to be helpful, especially to kids like her little sister Avery, who need that extra help. We are so incredibly proud of her.

I love snow days. I love the way Avery runs her fingers through my hair as she's falling asleep, and I let it grow out just so she could! I love pancakes, waffles, french toast, pretty much anything you can drown in maple syrup. I love Cheesecake Factory Oreo cheesecake. I love some of the goofiest reality shows on T.V. and I make my best friend watch them too, so we can analyze everything that happens on them! I love the shows Little People, Big World and Jon and Kate plus 8 on TLC, The Real Housewives of Orange County, Wife Swap, Supernanny, House Hunters, and last but certainly not least, My Big Fat Fabulous Wedding! I love looking at old photographs of my parents when they were young. I love the way Kaylen pronounces gift certificate - gift cerdickadick -yeah, don't say that one at church! I love when Britton says he will be home at a certain time, and then is five minutes early instead of thirty minutes late. I love it when Avery takes three hour naps and still goes to bed on time. I love singing and dancing (when no one but my girls are around of course!) I love driving in traffic on the interstate, in the city as long as everyone is going above the speed limit!
