More Christmas Fun

A couple of weekends ago I made a solo trip back to San Antonio for my friend Cathy's baby shower. I had a great time seeing my dad and Shirley again and getting to visit with my friends without having to worry about Ava. I didnt get any pictures unfortunately because I left the camera with Mikey. Gigi came to visit while I was gone and Ava, daddy, and Gigi had a fun filled weekend as well.

Gigi and Ava taking pictures on her iphone. Ava now holds up any phone and turns it around and says "Cheee" like she is taking a picture of herself. It's hilarious.

The three of them went downtown for a Christmas parade!

Not saying "chee" hear but Gigi did a good job!

and look who they saw....the always fun Aunt Alli! She actually told Mikey about the parade because she was there with my uncle and cousin.

Uncle Kent (back to the camera), Cousin Devon and her little girl Aubrey, and Alli

Must have been lots for Ava to look at!

Gigi gave Ava some stickers

and when I came home I had this desk with coloring books and crayons to give Ava. An early Christmas gift from Papa and Shirley.

Gigi and Ava were also busy while I was gone making me a special ornament :)

When I got home Sunday afternoon we bundled up and went outside to help daddy put up the lights and Santa that Gigi bought for Ava.

I love these two!

Pretty lights

Going outside to see daddy's creation

Another family photo on timer on top of Tahoe. Nice.

Ava has loved saying hi and bye bye to our santa and every other santa in the neighborhood. Last night we drove around and looked at Christmas lights and it was the happiest I think I have ever seen Ava. She had the biggest smile on her face and kept saying "lights" and "ohhhh" and "pretty". It was the cutest thing! Whenever we came to a street where almost every house was decorated with lights she would start clapping. I think I want to take her to look at lights every night. :)
