Decorating the Christmas Tree

Well, supervising anyway!

Making the cut ~

Trying for our Christmas card proved challenging. We took several hundres shots literally {thank goodness for digital cameras}...here are some of the less than "card"worthy...

Lazy day fun at home

Helping her"self" to a mid-morning snack...


Grooming her horse while riding? Notice it's the dog's brush, guess it goes to show she relates dogs and horses in all aspects.

Christmastime

Merry Christmas Ya'll!

We have had lots of fun decorating. Ava loves to turn the lights on and off on the Christmas tree. She comes downstairs and turns them on every morning. She loves the lights!

Here are some pictures of her and her friend Matt. They are like siblings, they play, then they don't like each other. In these pictures...they are friends!

My friend Matt

Hanging out at the house with her friend Matt. She adores him. Everytime we leave or come home she always asks "Matt's house?" If the answer is no...she cries. Of course like any older boy, Matt isn't sure he likes Ava cramping his style. But there are special times when they act like friends rather that siblings - I caught this time on film!




I guess the real horses she rode at Thanksgiving are a distant memory. For some reason she thought she could ride backwards. I hope Ringling Bros. isn't in her future! ;)

Thanksgiving fun

A very sweet, but a little sick, Ava...cuddling with Uncle John.



Watching t.v. - ok, in her defense, there are so many of us now that somebody has to sit on the floor. Well, the not so bright grown ups do anyway...Ava beat that system by sitting in her doll stroller :) Smart kid!



Ava loves to "play" Mommy. I guess this is when I see what she has learned from me. Lucky for me...she loves to give kisses, hugs, and tuck her babies in to sleep. Here she is giving her baby a kiss... And, just like me, she has her "bag" under the stroller. Monkey see monkey do!


She loves to blow her own nose...here she is trying to blow Uncle John's nose...looks like she enjoys being on this side of the tissue :)





Riding her "truck" on Nana and Pawpaw's *FLAT* driveway and sidewalk...we have nothing but hills around here.
