Belated Halloween, Thanksgiving, Ava's new "toy", and start of the Christmas Season...

Wow, what a busy time of year!

I have finally uploaded the pictures from Halloween. About time, huh? Most of you know, Ava was sick on Halloween, so she looks very pitiful in most of the pictures.







We celebrated Thanksgiving at my grandmother's house, with the Toomey's. We got to see several cousins that we haven't seen in many months. Ava had a blast. My camera died early in the day (after the group shots), so I didn't get many shots of her playing, but I assure you she did ALOT of it!







I really don't know why we even buy Ava toys. She has played with the box shown below, for 2 days straight. It is pretty much the only toy she has touched since I gave it to her. She will push it around our entire home. She will even pick it up and carry it around everywhere with her. It is really pretty funny.






I put up our Christmas tree today. I just knew we would be telling Ava "no no" every 30 seconds for the next month because of it. However, to my surprise... 6 hours after putting it up, she has not even attempted to touch it. She just points at it and gives her "Ooooh" face. I am so proud of her! *Knock on wood*
