Jenny,

I was watching your video's and I almost wet myself laughing soooo hard at the "nail salon" video. Lisa does that way too well! Avery's face was the best!! She looked at her like "who the heck are you and what did you do with my Aunt Lisa" That was great!! Avery is getting soooo big and she is soo cute!!!
