Christmas 2008

Aloha.

More Christmas wishes. These photos are from our camera. Christmas Eve & Day. Uncle Doug stopped by while were watching the Jim Carrey version of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Then Christmas morning, we had coffee & strada. Well, mama and me. Ava skipped the java. Then we had mimosas while opening presents. All in all, a wonderful celebration of Christ. Enjoy the pics...

This is an Ava Self-Portrait.

Before Christmas, we took a couple holiday shots...

Look at the love.

And the humor.

"Aww mama, I love you."

Now pose.

What a little model.

Time for the close up.

When it gets hot at Ava's house, the windows develop condensation, Yes, she knows that word, SO how do you get rid of it? With a mop, of course. This was totally her idea.

Merry Christmas. Smile Uncle Doug!

Watchin' the movie...

Christmas morning. What a great cuddler...

Kiss me silly!

By the presents.

Mama got The Grinch! Now it can be a yearly tradition.

Cheeseball.





At the end of it all, it's time to fall asleep with a good book. On her face.

Sure hope everyone's Christmas was as pleasant and lovely as ours. Enjoy the new year! Cheers.

Merry Christmas

Aloha and Season's Greetings. We've had a busy Christmas... here are a few pics from Grandma & Grandpa's...

Beatiful Christmas braids by Mama.

Time to pose! What a great outfit.

Time to open some presents with Grandma...

...and play with what we open, with Grandpa!

Bet you didn't know Grandpa was a zoo?!


"Look through my new kaleidescope! Look!!!"

Jumpin' over the new jumprope. I love the concentration :)


Dinner with Doug, me, Ava, Grandma and Crystal. Grandpa's behind the camera!

Ava helped me open this gift. As she ripped the paper, she said "I know what this is daddy. It's beer!" Yep. It is.

Opening Uncle Doug & Aunt Crystal's gift...

Ava's first guitar! She was quite dramtically ecstatic over this gift. She fell on the floor speechless. It was adorable!

My lessons aren't as good as Uncle Doug's, but I try!

A new towel, a ladybug. And apparently a superhero's outfit!



A guitar-weilding superhero!

Her songwriting has already blossomed. Great gift Doug & Crystal.

Now, I'll work at getting pics up from Christmas with Mama & Daddy soon... Merry Christmas to each and every one of you. Our love goes out with this post.
