At least 2 of us were happy with the outcome of the game...and those 2 were not Hank and I!

Heading into a COLD Chiefs game!!

Vroom, vroom!!

Ava enjoyed a visit from her Aunt 'Lesha and Uncle Pat!

I guess I can still see out of them

Uncle Pat, can you help me fix these?

I'm open, I'm open!

Beep, beep, outta my way!

I don't care if you will bring me presents, I want off of your lap!

Whose lap am I sitting on?!

Who in the world are those funny-looking people?

Enjoying a Saturday morning

Mommy and Daddy out the door to work.

Ava just LOVES to put on Mommy's shoes and boots (yes, she knows the difference). We found her trying these on for size one day.

Yummy!!

Checking to see if these will work...

We showed her how to taste-test the frosting

She sure loved frosting her own cookie

Ava was a big help decorating the Christmas tree, though she wouldn't let Mommy put any of the ornaments on!

Bye, bye Daddy and Mommy, see you next week!

Hey Dad

Little cutie

Celebrating Grandpa and Grandma's 30th wedding anniversary

Brr, that's cold!

I'll help Grandma!

It won't be long before we are having tea parties...

Ava listening to Santa Pooh Bear

One minute she was jabbering, the next she was OUT!

Good thing Ava got some of Hank's artistic abilities!

Ava loves her new slippers!

Ava is quick!

Peek-a-boo! Ava's new favorite saying.
