Happy Five.

 My smart, beautiful, silly little Ava

woke up FIVE today (yesterday now)

 My lucky, blessed little girl had her amazing

grandparents here, with her, on her special day.

 Ava requested to have her party at Papa's Pizza, 

just like last year.

 They have a great area for the kids to play.

 There are so many fun things to do there,

including a Ferris wheel, which is Ava's 

favorite.

 We had lots of great friends & family

there to help us celebrate.

 Alayah

 Earrings?  Seriously?

 Bayli

 Yay candy!

Auntie Linda

 Ava requested a "Rainbow Cake"

Grandma Julie nailed it with the best Cold

Stone strawberry ice cream cake ever.

 Beautiful Bayli

So far, I love five.

That's easy, I love everything Ava.

Christmas Day

 Christmas morning is so fun, first we head 

over to Dad & Angi's house for a nice family

gathering.

 The girls love the piano, doesn't sound 

great but it sure is cute.  (for a minute)

 I love this photo.

 I see you!!

 Sisters : )

 Jess & Camille

 Jessica & Dad

 Martha & Japanzee : )

 We see you stealing presents!

Angi & Norah

 Such a lovely morning!  So much fun!

Then we are off, to the next event,

Christmas is BUSY.

Up to Mom's & John's house we go.

 I would never recognize her.

 Cute.

 Loves Auntie so much.

 Switched from her party dress to her

new red jump suit.

 Praise the Lord!!  : )

 So many pretty faces of Alayah...

 I just can't delete any.

 She is so adorable.

 See what I mean???

 Where has this crown been her whole life??

 Clearly meant to be wearing it.

 Beer.

 Train ride.

 A present?? Are you serious??

 So sweet.

 Baby keyboard thieves.

 YES!

 Fun!

 Today this beautiful girl is FIVE.

Wings and all.

We couldn't love her more. 

How blessed are we??  

Merry Christmas!  Hope yours was 

filled with magic & joy and all the 

people you love.
