Christmas / Holiday 2007 Pictures

Our tree in GA


Ava playing in her new kitchen for the first time




She played with this gift (her kitchen) for 7 hours straight, foregoing a nap when she opened it. As is evidenced by this picture, she didn't stop moving while playing with it.


Daymian


Jordan with heelies!


My cousin Ginger and me


Candy cane pirates


When this green toy busted, it got put to good use with Daymian, Jordan and Doug...


Ginger and Grammy


Like I said, it got put to good use...


Shane and Sherry celebrating Christmas


Grandma Pam and Ava


Is this an advertisement for this kid's kitchen, or what?


Yet another advertisement...


Yet another advertisement...


A happy girl...


A happy girl


A very happy girl!


When asked, "what does a baby say?", she replies "waah!" with this face...


Kisses for Momma...


The Carey Christmas


The Careys gave this bowling set to Ava. She seemed to really like it! When she didn't hit the pins with the ball, she kicked the rest down. Spare!


Celebrating Christmas Eve


Ava playing with the cash register that the Careys gave to her. She looked like an official grocery employee, donning her apron. Grandma Carey played with a cash register when she was little, too!


Grandpa Dean harassing Ava


Grandma Dolly and Ava checking-out Rudolph


My sister and me on Christmas Day. She wasn't feeling good that day at all, but was nice enough to take this picture...

My sister's nickname for me since high school has always been "Peace", because of the hippy clothes I wore...

Shelly, we drive by that house all the time going over to my parents house. It's INSANE!!! I've never seen so many lights. Could you imagine being their neighbor. BOO!

Ash-

I did notice that the neighbors on both sides of Mr. Christmas didn't have ANY lights up. Reminded me of the Griswald's yuppie neighbors whose eyes were burned by Clark's Christmas lights!

When J & I were visiting my parents over Christmas, we stopped by the "Griswold" house too. I do think it's overkill, but they shared their holiday spirit for everyone to enjoy. :) Even if their neighbors didn't have the same feelings.

Ava's hair has gotten so long and pretty, wow! I loved the pictures of her in her new kitchen. Too cute!
