Christmas

All of Brennen's siblings came to Colorado for Christmas, which resulted in a FULL house! We had lots of fun spending time with everyone, and Avalynn especially loved having cousins to play with. 

I left Brennen in charge while I did some last minute shopping and this is what I came home to!

Independence Day

Our first 4th of July not knocking doors! We were driving to breakfast and Bren said "um, this feels weird, I feel like I should be out knocking right now"! We enjoyed the day in Loveland with Brennen's parents and sisters doing lots of fun things together. 

The day started with the neighborhood parade. Avalynn loved seeing all the kids and especially all the dogs!

She loved walking down the street following all the kids

Later in the afternoon we went to the sculpture park in Loveland to walk around and ride the train. Avalynn was in heaven with all the free space to walk around and roam!

We watched fireworks from the golf course. Avalynn wasn't too sure about the sparklers, but loved the big fireworks. 

Easter 2011

Easter this year was the first Holiday that Avalynn really got to enjoy activities for. We have really good friends out selling this summer, and Avalynn has lots of little girlfriends to run around with. On Saturday morning we took the girls to the park for an Easter egg hunt. There were a TON of kids in a tiny little space where the eggs were and it lasted maybe 2 minuets. Avalynn got 1 egg (and Emrie may or may not have given it to her).

{All the pictures that are amazing and look professional were taken by Noelle!}

The cute girlies!

This is what she thought of only getting one egg!

We got to ride the train, and Avalynn loved it

Noelle was so sweet and took Easter pictures of all the girls! Thank you Noelle!
