It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

It is nearly Christmas and we haven’t posted an update since Thanksgiving. What have been up to for the last month? Glad you asked – we can tell you in pictures.

With the cooler weather, Ava can finally enjoy the outdoors more. She loves the parks, especially if there are swings.

Ava also has fun riding her big wheel.

Ava is also a good helper. Here she is helping Dad get the Christmas decorations out of storage. Ava also helped put up the Christmas lights outside, and decorate the tree.

Ava and Dad did a trip to the train park for the holiday lights. We’re still not sure if Dad or Ava had more fun.

Dad and Ava have fun with the train a few times as day as well.

We did some family photos with a photographer…

While we don’t get much snow here in the desert, a few of the shopping centers do bring in snow for the holidays. Ava loved the snow, but was a little hesitant when she was sliding on the ice…of course like any kid, she needed to hand us her mittens right away.

We’ve also been filling our days with other fun stuff. Ava loves Christmas music (especially the “Reindeer Song” aka Rudolph), as well as the various Christmas books. She is also obsessed with our neighbor’s blow-up snowman and Thomas the Train (“I see Thomas and Snowman” is a request anytime we get into the car). We’ve definitely enjoyed the Christmas lights around the neighborhood this year.

Stay tuned for more Christmas photos over the next few days!
