2010 in review : DECEMBER

i can't help but break out into 'a long december, and there's reason to believe...'

every time i think of the 12th month.

classic 90s hits at its finest right there.

santa claus made an appearance at the retirement community on the same campus as ava's pre-school!

and he brought some helpers with him, too :)

and PRESENTS of course!

ava & mya opening up their books from st. nick - tangled, pinkalicious, and barbie!

we also had a few family celebrations ::

ava & emme on christmas eve

i just love toys with batteries.

especially ones that bark...

typical.

sword fighting with a touch of wrestling.

ava put out some reindeer food for rudolph and his friends!

christmas pj's and boots. s t y l e.

putting out cookies & milk for santa picture - take 1.

....and take 2!

this girl kills me.

 

oh christmas tree, oh christmas tree!

ava must have been a pretty good girl this year, because santa left her quite a haul...

 

  

yes, he left her her very own four-wheeler under the tree!

and just about everything else she asked for, too :)

on to the next family celebration ::

oy vey. these two.

pops recorded 'guess how much i love you' and ava loves listening to him and turning the pages. so sweet.

we wrapped up the year celebrating the birth of the one and only, pops!

with cinnamon rolls at his request :)
