Conference weekend

Dad enjoying a little R & R during conference (well it might have been after).

More Ava fun

Ava ate a wonderful breakfast then wanted to do the dishes! Such a good child! Uncle Robby found her apron so she wouldn't get her clothes all wet. She really gets into her dishes.

Elsa Came for a Visit

This little dolly came for a visit and she has the most kissable chops!! We went to park discovery and she loved it!

Giada came to play

Giada came to play and have a sleep over. She wanted to know how it felt to sleep in curlers. She looked so cute we had to take her picture. She decided it's not so much fun to sleep in them. But she loves curly hair.

Bedtime stories

reading stories together. We read at least 20.

Getting ready for bed

They are good little brushers!! Don't forget the molars!

cousin fun

Alyss Paige came to play with Ava. They wanted to "sculpture" so I made them some play dough. It was a blast from the past! They loved it.

Duck Egg

We are getting fresh eggs now and we got a duck egg in the batch. Rob cooked it and it was about the size of a dinner plate (as you can see). He said it was good, but not delicious!

Chrismas in Pennsylvania

Mom and I spent Christmas in Pennsylvania with Jami and Travis. Brandi and Tim came too and we all had so much fun. We wanted to share some pictures and highlights from the trip.Jami made us stockings

Elsa just loved me and the feeling was mutual. :)
Cute girls
The Museum was phenomenal and I loved it. Here I am with a Thomas Moran.
One of my idols, Jacques Louis David. This is a later David, when he was the court painter for Napoleon.
A true revelation seeing Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres' work in real life.
Rockey
I also have to say that one of my personal highlights was the cheesecake that I got at the Reading Terminal Market. It was sheer bliss and I have not been able to reduplicate the euphoria with any other cheesecake here yet, but we're shooting for it. :)

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving here at home with the usual array of fantastic food. Mom wanted me to take a picture of some of her pies for Jami.
We also broke Shine to lead and she was vary receptive. She's promising to be a smart little filly.
