Merry Christmas!

 

Ava's performace in the talent show! It's a buring ring of fire!

 

Ava performed in the annual Le Gette talent show this year!  Her routine was a super cute hula hoop performance that was choreographed to Johnny Cash's song about a burning ring of fire. :-)  I'll try to get the video up... It's really super cute! 

Decorating....

We had a really late start to decorating this year... We DID decorate before this post, but not by much!  We finally put lights up on the house about 5 days ago!  Hey, better late than never, right?

Ava got her palate expander out!

 Before the appliance is out.

After the appliance is out!

Ava was not allowed to eat anything sticky for about 7 months.  It was really hard for her, especially since Lucy and Maddie has no restrictions.  I told Ava that after she got the appliance out of her mouth we would have a "sticky" party... so, we did!  I bought all the sticky candy I could find and the girls had a fun little party!  And yes, they brushed their teeth very well when it was all done!

So far behind... Happy Thanksgiving!

Jeffrey and Halley hosted Thanksgiving this year, and let me tell you, what a nice treat!  The food was delicious, the company wonderful, and their home was very welcoming.  Chris was working on Thanksgiving this year, but he was able to come by for dinner.  :-)
