Christmas Wishes

On Sunday, Avari had her Christmas Dance Recital! I really wanted to get video of it but I didn't think to check the disk before we left and when I tried it at the recital, it was full. Bummer! I did get some good pics though!

Skate our way...it's Avari's 5th Birthday!!

Saturday we celebrated Avari's birthday will her classmates and friends! Being that her birthday is December 15 doesn't leave open too many options of where to hold a birthday party in our town. Outside is out of the question because it could be too cold...which it wasn't...it was a beautiful day! So why risk it! We decided on a skating party at our local skating rink...Silver Wings Ballroom! Avari was so excited and her birthday party is all that she has talked about for the past few months!

She had a great time skating and playing games!! I really wish I would have gotten more pictures but with my crappy camera, it just didn't happen! Here are a few that I was able to get!

 Happy Birthday Sweet Girl! Hope your party was the best EVER! :)

It's been a long time....

Where has the time gone? I have not posted in FOREVER. I can not believe we are in December already. I can not believe my baby girl will be 5 next week. I can not believe that Christmas is right around the corner! I am so excited for Avari's birthday and for Christmas this year. I'm not exactly sure why this year is any different from other years...maybe I'm just finally at that good place!

As for what we have been up to over the last few months....Warning...this post may be a long one!
