Ava's New Table

While Grandpa and Grandma were here, we went shopping for her Christmas present. We wanted to buy her a table and chairs set and we found the perfect one at IKEA. Ava loves it and does everything at this table now, including cooking, coloring, play-doh, eating, tea parties, etc. We put it close to her kitchen and she will go back and forth pretending. It is the cutest thing ever. I will try to get a video of her soon.

Grandma's turn now!

Visit From Grandpa & Grandma

This past weekend, Grandpa and Grandma came down for a visit. We had a great time and really enjoyed spending time with them. Unfortunately, Ava has not seen them since last March so we were a little concerned with how she would do with them. She loved them! She was obsessed with making sure that they were always near her and would count heads whenever we were going anywhere. She had a great time! We kept ourselves very busy with a trip to Vero Beach to see Curt's Uncle Tom and Aunt Paulette, went to a home and garden show in Orlando, and did a little shopping in between everything. Here are some pictures from our great weekend!

We had to make a visit to the local Red Lobster! It was so good and we all ate way too much!

All ready for church.

Bath time! Daddy did her hair in a mohawk and Grandma thought it was the cutest thing ever! :)

THANKS FOR COMING! WE MISS YOU ALREADY!

Ava's Big Girl Bed

One of the things we wanted to get done before baby Isaac arrives, was refinish Ava's future big girl bed. This was my bed frame from when I grew up. We are converting Ava's crib to a toddler bed and she will sleep in that until May sometime. Isaac will just sleep in our room in a play yard until Ava moves into this bed, which is also our guest bed. Whenever guests come, Ava will get to have a slumber party in Mommy and Daddy's room on the floor! What a lucky girl! :) Last weekend, we had nothing else planned and it was extremely cold out (high in the 40's!) so we decided to refinish her bed. As you can see, we forgot to do the nightstand but Curt will do that some other weekend and it won't take a long. It was a lot of fun and we are very happy with the finished product. This is the bedding that I bought at TJ Maxx and we will repaint the room sometime in the next month. We haven't decided how we are going to pain it yet so if any of you have any suggestions, please send them our way! :)

Finished Product!
Finished but not put together!
