My Date with Ava

My niece, Ava, turned 4 years old last Saturday.
So on Wednesday I took her out on a birthday date. We had a blast!
Ava, her mom, Courtney, and I went out to lunch at the "Mexico restaurant" as Ava called it. :)
Then I took Ava shopping and to the library.
I don't think she stopped laughing the whole time we were out. :)

The birthday girl and me! <3

Courtney and me. <3

Trying on scarves at Cato. :)

Trying on high heels. ;)
(She is definitely a Cosby girl)

That face is adorable!!!

*cheese*

She was laughing so hard she fell over... haha

Her laugh is so cute, and she made herself laugh over and over again. :)

She couldn't stop laughing! It was hilarious!

Big hair flowers. :)

Playing with the trains at the library.

Happy birthday, Ava. I love you, babe!

Visit to Dale and Michelle's

Mom, Amanda and I took a trip down to Anderson yesterday. We spent the night and came home this afternoon. We had a really wonderful time! Beckisue and Andy came over for the evening.
This afternoon Dale took Heather sledding. She loved it!
I even got to go down the hill with her once. :)

Alicia Came to Visit.... AGAIN!

Alicia is here for another visit. I can't seem to get rid of her... ;)
(Just kidding)

She got to come over for a few days this week. We are having a blast!
Yesterday she went with me to Indy for my voice lessons.
The poor dear had to hear all of my voice warm up... but she didn't die... ;)

After my voice lesson, while Monica and Amanda were taking theirs, she and I went out for coffee. Well, I had coffee, but that crazy girl doesn't like coffee. :P I'm still trying to figure out what happened to her that she is so weird! :D

Anyway, crazy or not, we have been having a wonderful time together!
I love my friend!

(I had to say something nice cause she is sitting right next to me right now...)

My voice teacher, Danielle. I love her! She is the best teacher in the world!

My new hair cut.

Naomi cut my hair when I was at her house this week.
I can never get it to look as good as she can. :)

Tomorrow is a Long Time

Sarah and Naomi

Yesterday I drove over to Lafayette to hang out with Sarah and Naomi. We went ice skating, ate dinner at Naomi's house, watched tv, and just had a wonderful time talking and catching up on each others lives. :)
When the three of us are together there is never a loss for words. We even talk over each other sometimes. ;)

My nieces and nephew

Heather, Keira and Ava helped Aunt Monica make a Ginger Bread house.

Papa with 3 of his granddaughters.

I can't help but laugh at the faces the girls are making here. :)

Cousins <3

My beautiful Heather. <3

Early in the morning with Keira and Cole.

Rob and Chrissy went home yesterday but before they left we got a few more pictures with Keira.

Keira likes wearing hair flowers in her hair just like aunt Steph. :)

I miss her kisses!

It was really wonderful getting to spend so much time with my nieces and nephew over the holidays. I can't wait till the next family get together! <3
