New Pics on Shutterfly

I have decided that I am going to try the Shutterfly thing after all. Much less time consuming and everyone can still see pictures. Anytime I update an album on shutterfly I will let you know on the blog and include the link.

The pictures that I uploaded today are from this weekend. The Bass family stayed with us on Saturday night and I got a few pictures of Ava and Izzie playing and of course a few of cute little Andrew. We were so happy that they were here. I feel like anytime I see them it is for such short amount of time, usually just a quick pop in to their house when we are in San Antonio.

After they left on Sunday it snowed!! The first snow of 2011! I got a few pictures of Ava playing in the snow along with some crafts, yes CRAFTS woohoo, that we made together while we were stuck inside all day. I am already planning some future crafts with this little one. She loves it just as much as I do, thank goodness!

Click http://mikeandkristenseamans.shutterfly.com/ to see our shutterfly page with the pictures. I still have lots of gaps to fill in with pictures from the past year but there are other albums that you can view as well that I already had on Shutterfly. Also, don't forget to look below the pictures for captions. I will try and do this as often as I can. You can also leave comments on the right hand side of the homepage or underneath the pictures. It should be easier to leave comments than on the blog. I love to read your comments!

Wordless Wednesday

Cookies with friends

A week before Christmas we had a playdate with all of our toddler and mommy friends. It had been awhile since we all saw each other so a playdate was definitely in order. We played upstairs in Madison's playroom for a little bit {so jealous of people with playrooms} and then we went downstairs to decorate sugar cookies! Now that the kids are getting older it will be fun to do more hands on things like this. I am thinking some crafts are in our near future Miss Ava!

Someone couldn't wait to decorate the cookies before she started eating them.

Time for the sprinkles

{minus Amy and Brinley-we missed yall!}

Boy did these girls love them some sprinkles!

Especially the glittery green kind that sticks to your fingers after dipping them first in icing and then licking them

Delicious ;)

Santa

We went to get Ava's picture taken with Santa this afternoon and she did great! I was pleasantly surprised at how at ease she was sitting on his lap. She does LOVE Santa, it's all she talks about these days, but I thought based on other examples set by her friends and the fact that she is so shy that she would cry the second we put her on his lap. She kept waving to him while we were waiting in line and when we placed her on his lap she just looked up at him and stared. It was adorable! I wish we would have gotten that picture on cd too but this one turned out just as cute.

Merry Christmas!
