Trip to the Park

We took the girls to the park today.
The weather was chilly but perfect for running off energy!
...Jane LOVES to swing...
....and....
...Ava LOVES to slide...

Jane prefers walking these days over being held or being in the stroller.
Little Miss Independence...but oh so cute!
Scott and Ava climbed down the rocks under the bridge to explore and check things out.
Fun Fun Fun!

Benda What? Benda Who?

Bendaroos!
Ava got a set of Bendaroos for Christmas....they are a great invention! She LOVES creating all kinds of treasures! I love them because she can use them over and over again and they keep their stickiness...very cool!
...Proud Ava...

New Pizzeria

Last weekend we enjoyed Fratelli's for dinner. It was delicious pizza. We tried the Margherita and The Three Little Pigs (ham/bacon/sausage). It was nice to be downtown in our hometown for a fun meal!
Yum!
...Jane & Pappy...

...Present Time...
The girls got some Play Mobile...Scott had more fun playing than the girls...ha!
The girls and their "Bzzzzz" toothbrushes...as they called them! They were both so giddy about having battery operated brushes! The thrill of this gift was so cute!

Cousin Day

Ava and Isabella had a fun filled day together. Scott and Jeff took the girls on a Daddy/Daughter date to see The Princess and the Frog. Isabella came over afterwards to eat pizza and spend the evening with us.
After baths, all three girls got snuggly in their jammies and watched Polar Express until bedtime. Jane jumped right in for a few minutes of fun before going to bed.
Cute Cousins!

Nativity Bling

Ava added her special touch to the nativity today. A TinkerBell wand in the background and a pink sparkle ring from the Wisemen to baby Jesus. Ava said..."It's just perfect now!"

Shots & Check Ups

We had a big day of check ups for both girls! Jane did a great job getting poked from head to toe...not to mention 4 shots! eek! She weighs 18 pounds and is 27 inches long. What a big girl!
Poor Ava thought she was going for a check up and moral support for Jane's shots. She ended up getting her first round of "Big Girl" shots. Two pokes later, a few silent tears, and a sweet quivering chin...she was just fine! She did a superb job under pressure and made her Mama proud!
