playing dress up

we had a formal last night and got to get all dressed up!!! aven was eating up the attention until she realized we were both leaving and she starting crying. thanks to aunt pam and mr. rick for babysitting so we could go out!! you guys are the greatest!!

seafood festival with ella

we took aven to the seafood festival and she and ella had a great time playing on the playground and eating french fries!! i guess if mommy can splurge on fried seafood, aven can have a french fry.

happy birthday to me, early

we found aven's birthday present and couldn't keep it from her so she got to play with it early. she can walk pushing it, so she goes all over the house. we had to take an updated picture of her eyes...

pumpkin patch with ella

yesterday we took aven to the richmond hill pumpkin patch with our friends jon and brenda and their little girl, ella. ella is a month younger than aven and they have a blast together. they rode in ella's wagon and were certainly attention getters from the ladies working the pumpkin patch!!
