Christmas & Newport

Christmas was wonderful again this year. We spent the early part of the morning at the Kelly's and then went to my parent's for brunch and afternoon fun, and then came back home for some yummy ribs! It is just so much fun watching Ava play with her new toys and see how excited she gets. (For Christmas Eve info check out Kandis's blog...)

Merry Christmas Daddy! (Ava learning to finally give kisses..just melts my heart)


I think someone likes Nixon's presents


Santa came!No mommy No, I don't want to be here!

Oh a present? Okay, I'm happy




Newport
Killing time on lap tops with uncle Joel

My family had our annual Newport trip over New Years. Wow was the weather perfect! I packed for winter and only brought one spring outfit...I wore it the whole time. It was so much fun...a lot of relaxing, eating, and walking. Mike got to go surfing, which according to him was tiring and the McDonald's breakfast didn't help much. He was in the ocean for about 10 min. I really wanted to go to Goofy's Kitchen in Down Town Disney, but ended up settling for just roaming DTD because breakfast with the characters was $30.00 A PEARSON. No thank you! One of my favorite things we did was go to the beach as a fam. Ava had no fear of the water. She just kept running right back in. She stayed dry up until the last few minutes, but she still had a big smile on her face when she stood back up after tripping in the ocean.


First time on a carousel...She was not happy

3 trips around, she loved it!




"Fish, Fish, OOOH'stad! Fish" Ava loves her fishes

How did you do surfing Mike? Thomas wanted to try while we were in Hawaii but we never got around to get him to try. He is jealous that you got to go!
