Twas the Night Before Christmas!
We put out our Reindeer Dust for Rudolph and friends and a few carrots inside.
And of course.... milk and cookies for Santa!
Ava's Church Christmas Pagent
She was a shepherd! (Mom didn't know what her costume would look like before the show... so she curled Ava's hair!) Trust me... it looked super cute under that hat!

We are "Bell Ringers!"
This year we got the opportunity to be bell ringers for the Salvation Army. Our church was looking for volunteers and I was looking for a way to teach the kids about the true meaning of Christmas. We decided to buy candy canes to hand out to people who donated... and even those who didn't! Turns out that a couple of cute kids handing out candy canes and singing Christmas carols bring a lot of joy to people! Everyone left with a smile! (and some even sang with us!) We had fun and think we made a lot of money for the Salvation Army. We look forward to doing it again next year! (FULL DISCLOSURE.... Ryan was asking "are we almost done" 10 minutes into our 2 HOUR shift! But it turns out it got pretty busy shortly after that and then the time went pretty fast!) :)
Ava's Dance Picture!
She is hard to recognize with her ponytail!
She is the cutie in the (top) middle!

Snow Patrol~Ready for Action!
We have a big snowstorm expected to arrive late tonight and into tomorrow morning. Good thing we have these helpers ready for action... (and our new snow blower!) Looking forward to being snowed in tomorrow! (I have the kitchen stocked with baking supplies!)
My Gracie Girl....
Orginally attempted to post on Thursday, I was having trouble with blogger the last few days...
Although I am on maternity leave for another 2 weeks, today is one of my last days to cuddle with this sweetie alone (before everyone is off of school). So although I have so much to do to get ready for Christmas, I am going to let her nap on me and enjoy my day cuddling with my Gracie girl!
