Happy Halloween

For Halloween, we had some friends over to grill out and then go trick or treating around the neighborhood. The kids had a great time! Ava loved being in her costume and thought she was the cutest girl on earth. She didn't even want to take it off. She probably would have slept in it if I would have let her!

Ava's First Haircut

Ava got her first haircut today. She was such a big girl and didn't move at all for the stylist. She watched about 10 minutes of The Little Mermaid and seemed to absolutely love the movie! She didn't need a major haircut, but it was getting a little crazy and uneven all over. She even got a cute little pink bow for being such a big girl.

ALL READY! (She's smiling at Ariel)


THE FIRST CUT


ALL DONE!
ALL PRETTY!

Movie Under the Stars

Avalon Park had a Movie Under the Stars last Friday. They played The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. We decided to go down there to see what Ava would think of it. Overall, she didn't watch the movie too much because we were too far away from the screen but she loved playing in the grass in the dark!

The movie!


Our friends Tim, Shari and Bre also went. We had a great time!




My New Favorites

Ava has a few new favorites. One is crawling from the couch onto the end table. She will put Mickey and Minnie on the end table and crawl up there to play with them. Very dangerous but she loves it! Her other favorite is Mickey and Minnie. Mommy splurged and bought her a stuffed Mickey and Minnie Mouse. She absolutely loves them! She carries them everywhere. Sippy cup in one hand, Mickey and Minnie in the other!



We Love Pumpkins!

Horse Video

Here is Ava with one of the horses at the pumpkin patch. She loved them but wouldn't get close enough to touch them. But, whenever she gets excited about something, she always waves her arms really fast. It's so cute!

PUMPKINS!!!

On Friday, Christie and I took Ava to a local pumpkin patch. It was so much fun. They also had pumpkins, horses, goats, roosters, and rabbits. It took Ava about 10 minutes to warm up but then after that she was running around the farm after all the animals. She loved the roosters the most and whenever they would make a noise, she would turn and point to them. We will definitely be going back here before the end of the season.
