Miscellaneous December Pictures

 Ava Elf from preschool.


The chalkboard in my kitchen.



Another preschool project

Ava drew this for me. Mom and Ava holding hands. She has been so sweet lately and now draws pictures of me with baby sister in my belly. She can't wait until she is born!

Largest nativity ever. Can you find baby Jesus? :)

I asked Ava what she was doing with the snowmen. She said, "Making snow angels!" Hm.... something's missing. As the afternoon progressed, she disappeared around the side of the house. Then I realized she was following the last bit of sunshine of the day. 

Christmas Catch-Up

At this point, I'm going to make this a photo album and just try to catch up!

This year we were able to have a tree! Last year, if you remember, Tyler messed with it so much (spun it, tipped it over etc) we decided not to have a tree. The tree was fine this year, but the ornaments didn't fare so well.

Preschool Art

Ava picked out this Christmas dress. Here she is ready for her preschool Christmas presentation. I thought she looked cute so I said, "Go stand by the tree and smile, but hurry, my battery is going to die!" She ran over to the tree and then said, "Hold on. My smile has to load up!" My camera died before her smile 'loaded up' haha. I took this picture after recharging it.

Christmas Eve Pajamas! 
Tyler's bottoms were a bit big and kept falling down. He would run around then stop and say "Ah! My pants are falling down!"

Santa Came! And Grandpas and Grandmas and Aunts and Uncles! :)



 We had a hard time keeping Tyler from ripping all of the presents open!



He loves the Olaf Grandma and Grandpa Hawes sent. He sleeps with it every night along with his two monkeys.
 Ava got a crying/laughing baby and a dog that barks and walks!

Cool Car Slide

 Matching PJs

Ava was sad that it didn't snow on Christmas, but Mom was happy! They enjoyed the nice weather riding their bikes and new scooters Grandma and Grandpa Graff gave them.

Fun in Boulder City, Nevada

The kids caught a lizard in Great Grandma Graff's backyard!


 Both kids loved driving at the corral.


 Grandma and Grandpa Graff gave Tyler and Ava their Christmas presents early: Scooters!
 Cuddling with Grandma Graff in the morning.

 Playing air hockey at Great Grandma Graff's house. She has all the fun toys. :)
