Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Yesterday, my company had it's annual Children's Christmas Party at the local movie theatre. We got free tickets to Planet 51 and snacks, plus Ava got to see this guy.

She's telling him she wants a Princess Darby with gold and silver shoes and a mask and a stuffed puppy dog with a hairbow and earrings.

After she told him what she wanted, he gave her a candy cane. Ava doesn't like mint, but she always wants to try it. So we unwrapped it and she put a piece in her mouth, then promptly spit it out and told me it was too spicy.

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving. We went to visit my parents and Ava got to play with all three of her cousin brothers. Ava said she was thankful for birthdays, but I know she's also thankful for cousin brothers. Almost everyday we're not with them she tells me how much she misses them.

Jamie is running at full speed in almost every photo I took of him.

After we all froze our buns outside, we went inside for hot chocolate and pie.

Look at this rascally guy. Can you tell his middle name is Danger?
