Dance Party!

Video Part 1:

Video Part 2:

I guess we could say that the lessons were a sucess? Depending on what we had set out to accomplish.....

Another Christmas Party

It was 80 degrees the day after Christmas and the kids got hot

and our baby was uncomfortable in her little outfit

so we put her in a new outfit

time for my second one? hahahaha - I think not.

Play time!

Christmas Night

Ava's First Christmas

Her first Christmas present is mostly a present for her, but mostly a present to us....it's the sleep sheep.

What a long day

Happy Santa Claus!

This was Ava's first encounter with Santa Clause and it went as well as you could expect

We tried one more time, but she had a pretty good grip on Daddy


Later on tonight, Ava decided to to play dress-up with Mommy's strainer -- all the toys in the world can't replace the plain old every day items laying around the house. By the way, I should mention that she hates hats on her head, but strainers or other random objects are just fine....figures!

Weekly Playdate!

So many new toys

Ava is taking a spin in the bowl

She looks like she's really enjoying it....she really was though

After all that spinning, she got thirsty...mmmm...yummy...dog water

Then she came home to cuddle with Daddy

That's her favorite

Grandma Joyce's Pizza Party!

The family is enjoying a beautiful 75 degree December day!

Jack's enjoying some sun

I don't know what these guys are doing, but they sure look silly.....

Ava was inside taking a nap,

so Jackson thought he'd try to pet her, without her running away,

but that woke her up and it was NOT pretty. They will have more fun on the next trip, I'm sure.

Uncle's Christmas Party!

Ava sees something she likes...

is it the dog or the little girl? Hmm....either way she had fun at her first Christmas party of the season.

Happy Graduation Auntie!

Kaden's 1st Birthday Party

That sure is a mess of babies, it makes it hard to track your own.
