Ava's 1st Thanksgiving

We got to celebrate Thanksgiving twice this year with a yummy dinner!! Grandma Brewer made us a Turkey dinner the week before then the Wises made one on Thanksgiving. We were so spoiled thanks to Ava arriving around the holiday. Cary and I are so thankful this year with a new daughter Ava and all the love and support from family. Also Ava got to wear her cute turkey outfit. She loved it! Thank you for everyone that helped out, we are so blessed!

Grandma & Grandpa Wise

On Sunday Grandma Brewer left but we got more visitors just in time for Thanksgiving. Grandma and Grandpa Wise came to visit Ava Mae for the first time. They were a huge help with cooking dinner and cleaning. The most important thing they got to hold and kiss all over Ava. You could tell Ava really enjoyed all the attention.
They were here for a week, it went by so fast but looking forward to seeing them around the holidays!

Swaddle Queen

Ava loves her swaddlers, she is a swaddling queen. Every time she gets into her swaddles she goes from fussy baby to content bundle of joy. She is really getting a personality of her own. Can't wait for the next milestone. BTW- Aunt Carrie gave her the nickname Monchichi. When she is swaddle she definitely looks like a cute little Monchichi. Ohhh how I love my Monchichi!

Welcome Home Ava

On Friday we brought Ava home from Winchester Hospital. Before we left she had her pictures taken in a cute little pink outfit. Once we were discharged we came outside to a beautiful sunny afternoon. It made for a great car ride home. When we got there we were greeted by cute signs welcoming us home. They were so cute thanks to Aunt Carrie! We had a wonderful first day at home with lots of laughter and smiles:)
