I never really thought we looked that much alike until I saw this picture! Yikes!!! As she gets older I think we will look more and more alike....I don't mind though! :)
Our weekend is over and I am sad! We had such a good time. It's just that natural fit when your sibling is around you after a long break. Ava was in heaven with all of the attention from her "Auntie Keekee" and then my mom showed up and that was icing on the cake! We took a trip to the Pumpkin Patch (but I can't show you the cute picture that Kate is in until later....), ate some really yummy food, shopped, read vampire love stories, played Uno and listened to Kate make up words. She has this habit of making up words....she knows they aren't right but she says them with such confidence that you can't help but laugh....then she laughs...then I right them down because there have been so many I can't even count! I think the funniest part is that SHE thinks she IS saying the right word! Anyway.....it's funny!
We had a nice Birthday dinner at a great local restaurant called Oregano's. It was soooo yummmy!
Ava has been trying out new smiles and it totally cracks me up! You never know what you are going to get when you "say Cheese"! She was such a good little girl during dinner! We love any place to eat where the atmosphere is louder than my child! :)
And finally, the Birthday Girl was trying out my new camera...
It was a busy, perfect weekend! And now we are cleaning up the house in preparation for my Grandparents to come for a visit tomorrow! They are attending a conference later in the week and decided to come a few days early for a visit. It is so fun to have everyone coming to visit. We love it!!! More pictures to come!!!
amie, these pics are so much fun. glad you had a super visit with your mom and sister. um...i think i saw your parents at joaquins on thursday night. would that be right? i tried to call you from our booth, but you didn't answer your cell. :) i love the pic of kenny benny and ava "saying cheese".
