I can count to 10!

Merry Christmas to All....

We are leaving for our Christmas vacation with our families in the morning and I thought I would leave one last post (with pictures). And for anyone who hasn't received a Christmas card yet..... I haven't sent them!!! I know- I am behind- they are going to be more like New Year's cards!

I call this the Christas outfit tango pose

Ava wasn't the only one with a new Christmas outfit....

playing in the gigantic mound of clothes to fold!

Let the Christmas present opening begin. Thanks Erin!

Ava's new play place

Ava is really into dressing herself lately. Pretty good, huh!?

Some of the best news of my ENTIRE life!!!

I passed my infectious disease (most feared exam in the history of pharm D students!) exam on Monday!!!! HOORAY!!! I have been having ulcers about it all week and I passed it! My life (and schooling...) can go on.

I am not dead.....

I feel like it, but luckily I am not dead (or dying!) After 50 hours of studying in the last 10 days..... I only have one final left!!!! And it isn't until Friday so I still have 24 hours to procrastinate :) I can't believe that school can even be this hard. Who knew you could actually have to study so much- almost an impossible amount. And just to make this post not too boring or whiney, here are some pictures (probably random since I have no idea which pictures are even on this picture!)

Past Christmas pictures it is....

Holy cow (and I mean cow...!) JK- Ava's very very first Christmas :)



Ava's second Christmas- for all of you who know these kids, prepared to be amazed: (PS- that's Ava middle left side crawling away- some things never change!)



Another pictures of Ava's first Christmas

Insert Here: Picture of Ava with Santa at her second Christmas.... Oh wait- I can't because now she's scared of Santa and wouldn't sit on his lap because she was crying and sad..... Boo!

following suit

I am copying everyone's good ideas aboutgetting addresses for Christmas cards. Email me at katrams1@yahoo.com and sendme your addresses and I will send you a great Christmas card!! It may or may not get there before Christmas.....

Boutique Time Again

A friend of mine is having a Christmas boutique and we are selling our bobby pins and clips there! I have so many talented friends who will be making bows, dresses, decorations, and much much more! The address is: (coming soon.....) and it will be Friday December 19thfrom 10 am- 5 pm. Hope you can make it. And for all you Utah countyers..... We are having a boutique at my sister's house in Lehi on Wednesday December 17th sometime in the evening :)

Here are some pictures of what we have been up to:


Last night- Lights on Temple Square with the Youngs.... I have never seen so many people in one place before! Not even at Disneyland on December 27th!



Ava's favorite part of the night- the water fountain!

How pretty is this. We are so blessed to live so close to so many temples

Ahh- tender...

What's up G!? How did this picture turn out like this??

Cutest girl ever

Ava and George "helping" to clean up after our ward Christmas breakfast
