I'm sure most of you have heard of the show "The Office" on TV. I know my family loves it. I wanted to share with you something that we did to our boss. We wrapped everything in her office with wrapping paper. EVERYTHING the mouse, the computer, every book & picture frame, all her walls, chairs, you get the point. :) Here is a picture!

I hope everyone is enjoying this Holiday Season!! I certainly am, and I am so excited for the snow and having a white Christmas. I can't believe Ava's progress over this last month! It's incredible, she's so cute. Vidal and I also took his nephews to the dinosaur museum, it was so much fun, they are such good boys and I hope they had fun! And thank you so so much to my mom for giving them that extra little "tour" - they really are enjoying the bones they got to take home.
She was so so so so tired. She passed out from all the excitement :)
Ava is now trying to sit independently, and she eats everything, but that's been going on for awhile now. Here are some recent pictures.

And I am sooooo EXCITED! The doctor confirmed at Ava's last appointment that she is going to keep those beautiful blue eyes of hers!! She's going to be a heart breaker!

Last thing I'm going to put on here is a video Vidal took of Ava playing in her "saucer" - she gets extremley frustrated with the toys because they don't seem to go in her mouth.

Happy Holidays everyone! I hope everyone has a great Christmas and a Happy New Year! Love you all!! :)

Quick update, we had a GREAT time in Elko, it was so much fun. I absolutley love Vidal's family, they are so much fun. And thanks to Joey, Kathy, Tommie, and Jim for showing us around! And also helping us win some money....or loose some, whichever way you look at it! haha.
Thanksgiving was great, I hopefully will post pictures soon, we spent the first part of the day with my family down in Springville. It was so fun, and my nephews and niece are the cutest. Vidal and I sat and built things for them most the time, of course I didn't see Ava almost the whole time I was there (she must be a big deal :D). Afterwards we went to Vidal's cousin Daniel's house where we had a second Thanksgiving. Needless to say I was incredibly full! When we got to Elko the next day I didn't hardly eat anything because I was so stuffed!!
Ava is getting SO big. She encountered pretty much her first sickness. Got a pretty bad fever and was just miserable for about 3 days. I got no sleep as well, but I'm just glad she's better. This last week she has also discovered the joys of rolling! haha, she's so funny, she'll roll over and then get mad she's on her stomach. What a character.
Pictures and another update will come soon. Thanksgiving gave me the opportunity to remember all the things I take for granted. I'm so greatful to have a job in these times. And I'm greatful for such an amazing and supportive family. I also love my friends, I can't thank them enough for their loyalty. And of course, my little Ava. I can't believe what a blessing she has been in my life, and how much joy she brings to me. Again, thank you to everyone for everything you've done. I love you all.
