Wise Family Pictures

Over thanksgiving weekend the Wise family did their annual family picture taking.  This year we had them done at the house.  It was a beautiful day but a little cold, the photographer really captured the moment.  Blue was the color of choice and everyone looked wonderful.  It's such a nice time to capture the year and see how much all the kids have grown.  I just love this family!!!

Thanksgiving

We celebrated Thanksgiving this year in Dayton with the Wise family.  It was a typical Thanksgiving feast with all the trimmings.  The cooks definitely made a lot of food but it was all so good.  They did a wonderful job!!  We had leftovers for days:) I think the best part might have been the pies.  There were 4 different kinds and they were the first things to go.  Also the girls loved playing with their cousins all kinds of games.  It always goes so fast but we are so blessed to have a wonderful family!

Kidcasso Fun

Last couple of weeks we've had some Kidcasso fun!!  Ava got to make a Turkey for Thanksgiving and also a apple tree after reading the Giving Tree book.  She loved both projects and was the first time she never asked for mommy's help (I glued on the eyes, nose, and feet of the turkey). I was so proud of her, she knew exactly what she wanted, maybe a budding artist:)  We did the Giving Tree class with her playgroup and all the trees turned out beautiful.  I think her favorite part was sponging on the tree and making the apples with the q-tip (so clever).  Reagan even got to join in on the class and make her own pretty picture.  She enjoyed pushing the paint around and getting messy!  These were great classes and so fun to watch the little artists!

Little Gym Birthday Party

We had Ava's birthday party at Little Gym this year with all her friends.  They had a blast, running & jumping on everything.  They had some activities for them like the air track but pretty much all the kids just ran around.  Once they all got their fill of running they got to eat cake.  We all sung "Happy Birthday to Ava" and she got to blow out her candles.  As a kid what else could you ask for playing & eating cake.  It was a very F..U..N birthday!!
