Ava's School Christmas Program

Ava had her preschool Christmas program at school. She was adorable and sang beautifully. We have videos but they are on you tube. Let me know if you would like to see them and I can send you the link. :)

Ava and her crazy teachers that we love! Mrs. Kimberly (on the left) just quit to work for her family business but Mrs. Lori (on the right) will still be Ava's teacher. :)
Ava and Isaac all ready for the program!
Look at this outfit! The teachers had the skirts made for the girls (only 2 girls in the entire class!!!) and they made shirts for them as well.

Pre-Christmas

Here are a bunch of pictures that we took in the month of December. We set out cookies and chocolate milk for Santa.

We had a wonderful visit from Curt's cousin Missy and her family. Timmy, Bekah, Isaac and Caleb had a great time with Ava and Isaac. It was great to see them!

My trip to Virginia

Right after we got back from Wisconsin, I flew to Roanoke, Virginia to see my best friend Lydia and her family. We had such a great time. Last time I saw Graham, he was only a few weeks old and now he is crawling all over the place and such a sweet little boy. Thanks for letting me come Lyd! I love you!

Thanksgiving Visit to WI

We took a trip to Wisconsin for Thanksgiving. Sorry for the lack of pictures the last few months. We haven't done a whole this fall so there weren't too many pictures to share. Here are the pictures from our trip. We had a blast and it was so good to see most of Curt's family. The kids had a lot of fun but we were all a little disappointed that they didn't have snow! :( But it was nice not to be freezing too.
Being silly!
