What We Haven't Been Posting About...

I realized it has been a while since I last posted in here and lots has happened. We went to more Halloween activities (during Halloween). Here we are at the Midwestern Halloween activity. It was a lot of fun. Ava was a little young to do the activities but we still made her try. I am pretty sure that 90% of the time (since Halloween) Ava has played with those Reeses Pieces. They are now a melted mushy mess but they are still safely contained in the wrapper so we keep giving it to her :)
Here she is dropping some bean bags in a bucket (she wanted to eat it though and not drop it)
And dropping more stuff in buckets
Fishing for prizes
And making cards for children in the Hospital
After Halloween we had Dave's brother Mike and his wife Mari over with little Max and took pictures in their costumes. He was a gnome but could have passed as Ava's dwarf. She was willing to give up her Reeses Pieces for his Travelocity sign though.
They are so cute!
I love this picture of them!!
On Monday we went with some friends to a Train Park. We got to ride on a little train around the park and it was a lot of fun.
Here we are on the train. Ava was a little confused by it but once it started she loved it.
Here's the train! My little nephew Bruce loves trains so I called him while we were there and now they are going to come visit so we can take him to this park. I was so excited! I love convincing people to come and visit :)
And the front view
Here are some cupcakes I made last night. It is a little pumpkin pie on top made out of a caramel and fondant with a little buttercream frosting on top. I thought it turned out pretty cute. Now I need to bring them to people so I don't eat them :)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
This morning Ava and I went to the park near our house with some friends and swung in the swing (mainly she just sat in the swing - she wasn't too sure about it)
She is so stinkin' cute!!
This week has been pretty crazy... It is finals week for Dave for his first quarter of school and he has been doing AWESOME!! We are so proud of him. He only has one more tomorrow and then 2 weeks off!! YAY! We leave for Texas next Friday and are so excited!! It will be nice to have a break and be able to spend time with Dave and also with our families!
