The Utterback Family: December 2010

Just like everyone else, we were pretty busy in December. We had our first snow which both girls loved, and Ava and I got to go with Papaw Mark to the Yuletide celebration. This is the 2nd year we have done this and Ava LOVES it. She gets to get all dressed up and gets to drink fancy drinks like Shirley Temples. She is growing up so fast. :(

We were also very blessed to be able to get together with so many of our family members and celebrate Christmas with them. This Christmas was so much fun with Audrey being 17 months and Ava being 4 1/2. Santa, Mrs. Claus and all of his Nana and Papaw Elves were SO good to the girls this year...maybe a little too good. Ava and Audrey interact and play so well together so I can't wait to see what is in store for next year! Enjoy all of the pictures...sorry there are SO many!

Daddy helping them paint! If you have little ones you should let them paint on little canvas's and give them away as gifts. I can tell you that Grandparents REALLY love them!

Ava painting with her new princess paints that Santa brought her. She is concentrating VERY hard.

Showing us one of her games she got to go with her Tag Reader.

Audrey with her new boots and tutu on from Auntie Clare, Uncle Micah, and Jonas.

Before they woke up. Nana Jan and Papaw Steve came over at 7am to watch the girls open their gifts. Usually Audrey is up at least by 7. Go figure, they both slept in until almost 8:30...little boogers!

They BOTH love to eat snow...but as a kid who doesn't?

Audrey fell in the snow face first after this picture. We had to go in after that!

Ava could stay out in the snow for days if we would let her. She LOVES it. I hope to one day take her snow skiing...I think that she would be really good. :-)
