On Ava's birthday her and I stayed home and baked her cupcakes. It was so much fun!!! I let her do all the frosting and decorating. And yes I even let her lick the batter! Yummy!

Time to blow out the candles... she had all of her cousins here to celebrate her big day!

Yeah! It was finally Ava's birthday. This poor little girl has to wait all year long for Christmas and her Birthday. She could not wait to turn 4! Now she is the same age as "Randa" and "Toey."

Ah, what a cute little face!

These Great Big cards that play music have been a major hit at our house!!!

Yeah it's the talking and flying Dora horse! She has had her eye on this for a long time!

It was so cold and snowy outside that Ava had to ride her bike inside the house.. good way to keep those tires so white.

Christmas 2008

Is it just me or is she making them kiss?

The girls are playing on Drew's new skate ramp... what was Santa thinking???

Putting in a little snuggle time after the chaos is over.

Still in the box..

Maya loves this toy! It is the Best Sing a Long.

Pretty cute Grandma Carol...

Ava loved her bike so much she wasn't sure if she wanted to open up any other presents.

Do ya think Drew had a good Christmas? Ava is still on the bike.....

She finally decided to go for it and I think she is glad she did. Yes, Drew is dancing around the Christmas tree.

Maya is just loving all the excitement.

Early Christmas morning.

Ella is the first one up...

Then Maya.

This wonderful Easy Bake has yet to come out of it's box... I guess Ella is not the new Betty Crocker. But Drew sure Loves his football!!!

Little Tyler and Little Jason...tough little boys.

Maya loved to watch the snow fall, and trust me we definitely had a White Christmas.....

Our sweet Ella Bella... What is so cool about this picture is the CD Santa is holding. It is of Jewel, she is my third cousin and Ella's fourth. Ok here goes... My Grandma's brother daughter is Jewels mom. Get it? She was so nice to autograph a CD to "her cousins" Ebbi & Ella. I'm sure she has no idea who we are but I do remember listening to her and her family Yo dull one summer when they were in Kanab. Oh how I wish we would of stayed in touch. Hee, Hee!

Merry Christmas Babe... How do ya like your new i touch?

I wonder what he's thinking? "Please Santa please bring me a Denver Broncos Football?"

Need I say more!

Hunter better be happy to sit on Santa's lap... it seems to me that he already got his lump of coal this year!!!!

Cute Cydnee... Stop growing up!!! Makenli is still checking things out.

"I'm Three but in a few days I will be four."

This expression explains it all!!! She was not happy in the least to sit on Santa's lap!!! Maybe next year?!

Jayce is the big blue blur behind Makenli...I'm not kidding he was constantly jumping up and down.

Hmm, I wonder what these two boys are whispering about??? Maya is still looking a little dazed and confused...

He moves in for his turn...

Ah finally, he made it to the "big guys" lap. Good for you Jayce.
