Sister Fun

Ava is 4!!

Ava had a great 4th birthday. I cannot believe she is 4.

Lily made her a Build-A-Bear for her birthday, and it was her favorite gift. Her exact response was "Lily is THE BEST!!!!"



Then they wanted to get their birthday bears together...



She had a Dora cake...



And she was most excited to finally be able to tell people she is four years old. So if you see her, she will tell you:)

Frozen...and a little Ellie peek-a-boo :)

Lily is 5!

Lily is officially 5. We tried to talk her in to staying four for one more year, but she wasn't fond of that idea.

Ava made her a Build a Bear for her birthday...



And she loved her other gifts too!







She kindly shared (after her parents made her) her pretend jewelry with Ava.



She loved her cake, because she loves anything sweet...



And she got some birthday love...



What about me?!?!



Oh yeah, Ellie was there too :) She enjoyed the cake.

Too bad this is the wrong girl holding the balloon

Christmas

We had a great Christmas. My dad came up the week before Christmas and Ted's Dad and Barb came to visit for Christmas. It was so nice to have Christmas at home and not travel. Ted got 6 days off of work so it was great to get some family time! :)

Cincinnati!

Ted got me a new camera for Christmas. Like a real one! Here's a few test photos
