Happy Valentine's Day

Funny Story

I am going to try to be better about blogging funny things Ava says. Monday night we were all 3 sitting at the table eating dinner ( grilled fish, shrimp, potatoes, asparagus). Chris always fixes Ava's plate first so she can start eating while we fix our plates. Anyways she got finished before us and was ready for her dessert. So she said, " Mommy, Daddy I'm done". She repeated this phrase back to back about 10 times. Finally since we were not moving fast enough for her she said, " Chris and Rachel I am done!!". It was so funny. When Mommy and Daddy doesn't work she has starting calling us Rachel and Chris. She used to call me Rachel all the time which everyone thought was so funny, but now that she is calling Chris by his name he doesn't think it is so cute.

Birthday Party

I tried to keep the birthday party simple this year but that just really doesn't seem to work for us. There was just so much cute stuff and so many people that we have to have at Ava's birthday so we had a house full. Good news is that it was a beautiful day and now we have a house where we can fit everyone. Ava had a blast and got so many cute toys. Mostly Princess stuff but that is her favorite!!

Happy 3rd Birthday

We celebrated Ava's 3rd birthday at her favorite place Son of a Greek. Can you tell how excited she was to eat pizza?!?!? She was so excited about it being her birthday.

Inside of new house

We still have some things to do but for the most part the house is done. Chris is still working on his man cave so I didn't take pictures of that, but they will come soon. I am very happy with the way everything has turned out. We have so much room and don't have clutter sitting around which makes me and my OCD husband very happy.

Living room: mirror still needs to be hung

New couch: the blanket is where Barley sleeps

New chair

Kitchen: new table

Ava Lea's Princess room

Princess Bed

My bonus room: Aka Barbie Room, scrapbooking room, exercise room

Barbies on display

Master Bedroom

Ava's bathroom

Guest bedroom: Chris calls it the Chris room ( he put pictures of himself in there)

Ava's playroom

Dining room: The sofa wouldn't fit in my bonus room so it is in the dining room until we decide where it goes.

Snow 2011

Here are some pictures of the snow in our new house. More pictures to follow soon of the new house!!!

Santa Claus came to town!!

We were not sure which list Ava would be on this year. The terrible twos hit us pretty hard, but it looks like she made the nice list after all.
