Disney 2009...again!

We are sadly home from Ava's second Disney trip. Boy, what a difference 6 months made!! Here is Ava back in March meeting Donald Duck...And here is how she greeted the characters this time...



She LOVED them!! Especially Jojo and "Mimi" (aka Minnie Mouse) She couldn't get enough hugs and kisses from them!



On Tuesday night we went to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. Here's where my Disney Expertise kind of failed me...I had the cutest Jojo costume for Ava. Unfortunately it was 300 degrees in Orlando and poor little Jojo was way too hot in her costume. She humored me and wore it long enough to get a quick picture!

Thank you Gigi and Grandman for a wonderful trip!!! We are booked for next year same time so... if you're up for it....???? Haha!! :)

Disney Bound!

Our bags are packed, dozens of donut holes are waiting on the table for the LONG road trip, many Barney DVD's in the bag, Mommy and Ava have nice pink pedicures, alarm is set for 2 am! Disney World here we come...AGAIN!!

Finger Painting with Dinner

These pictures speak for themselves...

Pink Piggies!

Ava FINALLY let me paint her toenails today!!! It took forever and you can barely tell I did it...but they are so cute and sparkly!

We are very thankful that Ava did not inherit her Daddy's toes! :)

Best Buddies!

We had Ava's buddy, David, and his parents over for dinner the other night. They gave us some great pointers about our house and David and Ava had a great time playing together! Ava is in the hugging phase and loves to run up behind us and hug our legs. I love it! She is such a sweet girl!

New 'Do!

I have been experimenting with Ava's hair a lot lately. It is super, super straight and getting kind of long so this is what we came up with the other night..A little Flintstones inspired style! :) I want to get it cut, at least her bangs, but David wants to wait and get it done when we are in Disney World. (Bet you didn't know there is a real barber shop in the Magic Kingdom...just some fun Disney Trivia for the day) Here is Ava after dinner that same night.... Oh well! At least it was cute for a minute! :)

For Sale

Our house is for sale!! We have been talking and praying about this since Ava was born and we finally felt like it was the time to go for it! Praying for a FAST sale!
