he's making a list...

Prepping for Christmas has been SO much fun this year!  Ava is so excited about the season and all that it brings with it, and the joy she has makes me feel like I am experiencing the holidays for the first time! 

First up, Ava's annual Christmas shirt and bow.  She recieved it as a gift from two sweet ladies I work with three holidays ago.  I cannot seem to find our "08 photo, but here is Miss in '07, and again this year in front of the tree.  Sadly, I think this will be the last year for this precious shirt :(






This past Saturday we set down to write our very first letter to Santa!




How sweet is that?  A bit of a beating (hey, I am just being honest.  Have you ever tried to help a four year old right a letter? Seriously stressful! Ha)  But SO worth the end result! 

------------------------------------

We had a mini photo shoot on Saturday to get the perfect picture for our Christmas card. Priss totally loves to pose, so we got some really cute ones!  These are the two we ended up with :)
((sorry for the glare, not the best iPhone photo!))




----------------------------------------------------------

Tonight, Ava has her first ever school Christmas play, and we are so excited!  She has been practicing signing & singing "Do You Hear What I Hear" for the past month!  She got the big role of "Mary" and is so excited to get to hold baby Jesus ((don't worry, baby Jesus is only a doll!)), and this proud Momma can't wait to see her baby girl on the big stage!

wheew!  Did i seiously just blog four new posts? 

Finally, I feel a little better! Now I just need to catch up on my google reader ;)

Happy Tuesday!!
