Still working on the concept of EYE shadow...not FACE shadow

Claire nice and comfy on Grandma

Sporting a Chow's sweatshirt from Grandpa John and Grandma Rachel

Ready to open presents!

The girls with Great Grandma Helen

Good Christmas morning

Grandpa doing what he does best...putting a grandbaby to sleep on his lap.

4 of us this year!

Great big sis

Everyone got gloves for Christmas!

I'd say Katie likes her new shades and purse

Love hearing Ava read books to me

Story time with their new books

Writing a note to Mrs. Clause (not Santa)

Cuddle time with Aunt Sarah

A rare moment...Ava sitting still

Wish I had her energy

She reconsidered after they took off

Contemplating getting on the sled

Ava and Katie remind me of Sarah and I

The girls love listening to Christmas email forwards

Little baker

New hair ties! It doesn't take much to make this little girl happy.

Double ear infections are no fun...Claire preferred cuddle time over presents

Posing with her presents

One for you, two for me...

First snow of the season...too bad it was also -10 windchill. They were back in about 2 minutes.

Ava liked talking to Santa from a distance...so she volunteered her sister to sit on his lap instead.

All smiles!

Ava and Jasper Wilson

Grandpa and Grandma surprised us with an overnight stay!

Ava wore herself out playing with Heather

Decking out the tree

Ava said, "We're making our house look like Christmas!". I couldn't have said it better myself.

Madox is a great big cousin

Katie loves her cousins

Ava found Katie's makeup...

Love Grandma Rachel

Thanksgiving fun with Aunt Nancy and Cousin Katie

The cowgirl and her 'Lil Cupcake

Love our little girls

Rarely a picture is taken that Ava doesn't try to get into

Ava LOVES to strike a pose lately

Happy little girl!

Hawk Girl II

Hawk girl I

Claire likes to look around

Lots of pink!

The two little Peanuts, as Ava calls themselves

Movie night with cousin Katie!
