Tis the Season

I absolutely love this time of the year and can not get enough of it. We decorated the tree and the rest of the house. Ava was so excited that she got to put the decorations wherever she wanted. I had to do a little switching around when she wasn't looking, but she did a pretty good job on her own. The house looks fabulous inside and out. Ava's favorite thing right now is Runolph (Rudolph) that sings when you press his ear. She has to do everything with him...eat, sleep, watch movies, etc.

We had Shane's work Christmas party yesterday for the kids and Ava was a little unsure of Santa at first, but warmed up to him after a short time on his lap.

For Ava's birthday I decided to pull out whatever creative bone I could find and made this Arial cake for her. It wasn't my best work as the icing was not cooperating and started to melt before I could get it on the cake. She loved it and that's all that matters. She couldn't stop talking about her Arial cake and was very protective of it at her party.
