Santa gifts

We've been busy spending the last 2 weekends celebrating Christmas. Ava had such a great time this year and really got into the gift giving and receiving. She was a trooper through it all and is enjoying Christmas Day playing with all her new things. Merry Christmas!

Visit to Santa

Craft

While I went shopping yesterday, Jon and Ava did a craft together. It turned out really well and I was very impressed with his craft skills. Ava's very excited to count down the days until Christmas!

Happy Halloween

Pumpkin Carving

Jon and Ava carved a pumpkin last weekend. Ava was super excited about it until she saw the inside of the pumpkin and decided she was better off holding the bag for Jon. Maybe next year she will get more ambitious.

Apple Orchard

Uncle and Evalyn

Cousins

Mmmm...

Love you papa!

Went to the Apple Orchard with Jon's sister and her kids. We had lots of fun even though there weren't too many apples left on the trees. We still found a few and the kids got to spend some time together and burn some energy!

Corn Maze

We enjoyed the beautiful day yesterday at Sever's Corn Maze in Shakopee. Jon and I haven't been there for a few years and they have a TON of activities now. Ava had a BLAST! It will be on our list of things to do in the Fall next year.

Naptime

Big Girl Bed

About a month ago Ava wanted to sleep on her floor. After a few days of that, I asked why she didn't want to sleep in her bed anymore and she informed it was too small. So since she decided it was time to move up, it was a nice transition.
