happy thanksgiving

even though it was freezing in TN and her hands were frozen, aven loved swinging in the tree and was not thrilled to have to come inside. she would stay outside all day if i would let her, chasing the dogs and rolling down the hill in the back. we ended up taking her downstairs in the basement and letting her drive around with her barbie big wheel. we had a great time in TN for thanksgiving, i didn't get many pictures though. aven took one bite of garlic mashed potatoes at dinner and got sick. needless to say, that was the end of thanksgiving dinner for aven. i had a wonderful time with family and visiting friends, i can't to see everyone again for christmas!! hope everyone had a great holiday...
much love to all~

here are several pics from aven's party- thanks again to everyone for your help, she is such a blessed little girl to have so many people that love her!! aven's party was a tailgate theme (any excuse to watch football and be in comfy clothes and eat good food) so everyone is dressed in their west high and ut gear. aven wore her ut track suit and my sandals were orange. everyone knows orange isn't exactly my best color ;) it was alot of fun and you guys are the best!!
much love to all~
