Avi-girl lost a top-fronter!

New Glasses for Ella, Too!

Ella's all-plastic glasses have served her well, but she's really outgrown them. Her new glasses look a little big on her but will hopefully last!

You can see the girls' new dollhouse in the background!

Christmas in Pictures

The kids opened two presents on Christmas Eve: pajamas and sugar cereal!

Christmas morning didn't start too early... Averi woke up at 6:38. Taylor followed, Ella trailed. We were ready to open gifts by 7 or so.  :)

Averi's blinking in this one ;)

In retrospect, we should've gotten pictures of each child with all the gifts they received. We'll probably see some more of the gifts tomorrow.  :)

Nursemaid

A story that I've been meaning to share for a week...

Daddy was suffering from a migraine/headache, so little Miss Ella:

• brought Daddy her Leappad to play with
• brought Daddy some stuffed animals to keep him company
• gave Daddy's head repeated kisses throughout the episode to help him get better--she was very excited when he got better! (he had taken Tylenol)

:)

Averi's New Glasses

Averi's glasses were not working out for her so we were able to get a new pair for her.

She looks so mature!

Bounce Back

Ella and Averi just accidentally bumped heads. Ella had a little snuggle with mom while mom indicated that they could apologize to each other.

Averi: Sorry, Ella!
Ella: That's okay--my head still works!

I was recently at the dollar store with the girls who were home from school with pink eye. Ella knows the rules but was touching things regardless. While playing with a squishy ball toy, a piece of it broke off. Ella looked at me and said, "I chose the wrong!!"

lol!!
