Christmas Memories

Oh...my poor sweet Christmas angel. This picture was taken after Christmas Eve Mass. Ava was so tired after being so so so good all the way through church. It was probably about 10:30 when this picture was taken and we just couldn't get a smile outta her. But doesn't she look sweet? And doesn't my hubby look so handsome?! I'll take the credit for his attire...sorry, Honey...

-----------------

There she is! Yeah, this was taken before church.

Ava and her cousin Natalie were so precious. Natalie just reached her hand out and Ava held it. They were walking around the entire house like this. All the cameras busted out like papparazzi. Ava was so slow and Natalie just waited for her. Sigh. It was so cute.

Ava with her Granddaddy. At least I can rest assured that our baby grand will be put to good use. Ava loves to play the piano!
------------------

We developed a new skill. We can now get up and down from the couch! It's pretty funny to watch (and listen to as well!) Ava's new trick comes complete with a bunch of grunts, uh's, oo's, and when she gets up she concludes with a hand clap (which must be followed by your own), and a "Goot gul"...("Good girl," in Ava-niese.)

---------------------

Uh huh...you know that's right. The shirt says it all.

We met Keith's parents about 2 hours away and had a 5 generation picture taken. Yup -- Keith's great grandmother, his grandmother, his mom, and Ava all in one picture! How often do you get that? Ava wore this sweet dress for her glamour shot. It was made by Keith's mom for Ava. This is a very special dress. The fabric that was used for this dress was left over from Keith's very first Christmas outfit. How 'bout that? Thanks Granna!
