its beginning to look a lot like Christmas

ava is getting better and better at sitting up

ava was happy to put the star on top of her first Christmas tree!

of course the star must be tested, i mean tasted, first

some of these photos are from the grapevine Christmas parade. It was about 30 degrees out and ava did really well. she had many layers on, as well as a big bunny snow suit on the outside. amelia, thanks for the bunny suit! she just loved the lights and all that there was to look at.

we went to the "holiday in the park" with erika and philip last weekend

theres my lil munchkin... always looking out the window.

Baby Smalls

this is our texan tree farm *cough cough* ... home depot :)

there were some really nice trees there though. and the fact that they sell for extremely cheap there was a big plus too. It was fun to just drink coffee and pick out a tree together. we can save the "hiking through snow with a saw" for another year. a much colder year.
