3 Year Pictures!

I can't believe Ava & Ella are going to be 3 years old! It seems like only yesterday that they were born. They are both getting so big, talking so much and turning into little people....not just little babies anymore.  Here are a few of their pictures.  They turned out pretty good considering that Ava was a complete pistol that day and didn't want to cooperate at all!

Visit with Santa 2012

We spent the evening at the Mission Inn seeing the Festival of Lights (BEAUTIFUL!!!).  The girls got to sit on Santa's lap and see his reindeer!!  We also rode in a horse drawn carriage - Cinderella Style!  The girls were beyond excited!!

Holiday Family Pictures 2012

We took our holiday family pictures down in Corona Del Mar this year.  They came out AMAZING thanks once again to Stephanie (Simply Captured by Stephanie Photography)!!  Girls did really well considering and the weather couldn't have been more perfect!

Thanksgiving 2012

We hosted Thankgiving this year at our house and made our very first Turkey ever!  Thanks to Matty's recipe it turned out AMAZING!!!  We are so blessed with such amazing friends and family....the day turned out perfect!

Ella helped uncle Tim peel potatoes!

Ava just won't keep her hair ties in!!  

Potty Training Here We Come!!!

We have started potty training - well at least trying it out!  The girls have shown just about all of the signs that they are ready, however, the first day was total chaos!  Here are a few pics of the highlights of my crazy day!  Needless to say, the girls are doing ok, but I'm not sure they are entirely ready yet.  We will see in the coming weeks....

 I think they had more fun with the colanders than they did the actual potty training!  Poor Xena!!

Ava's First Haircut FINALLY!!!

Ava finally got her first haircut.  There really wasn't much to trim, but it needed to be cleaned up overall.  She ate her cookie and sat there like a good girl! 

Such a goofball!!!

Scribble Time

This is what happens when a 2 year old (Ava) finds a pen and her mom doesn't realize for about 5 minutes!  Took 3 days for the pen to come off even with baths and extra wiping with wipes!!  She also colored on the dining room chair cushions - but that's all I found.  Could have been a lot worse!
