Christmas was so fun. It was great to watch Ava at her first Christmas. At first she didn't do to much opening of the presents, but after some persuading and nudging she had lots of fun opening all the gifts and shredding all the paper. She received lots of toys and clothes.

This weekend and holiday season, Kristi and I spent some time of reflection over this past year. How GOD has blessed us, how he has given us a beautiful daughter and another one on the way, how he has blessed us with a wonderful family and many awesome and amazing friends. Kristi and I truly value the friendships we have and are very thankful that you are in our lives. May GOD bless you and your family the rest of this year and in 2008.

Monday we went to the baby doctor and had an Ultra-sound. We are having a baby girl!!! So we are going to have a Princess #2. Kristi and I will have to spend some time thinking of a little girls name. We only really had a boys name picked out. Kristi was pretty sure we were having a boy. With this feeling we picked out a little boys name and started calling the baby by that name. Then about 6-7 weeks ago we decided to stop using the boys name and just refer to the baby as, the baby. Now we know, and can start preparing.

In this picture, Ava just woke up for the day, and Dada gets to use the early Christmas present Momma & Dada got for each other, a new camera. Say Cheese!!!!

Wow, can you believe it, Kristi and I put up our Christmas tree last weekend. We have had that tree for three years, this is our 7th Christmas married, and this is the first time we have put up a Christmas tree. We are so very proud of ourselves. If it wasn't for Ava, we may not have put up a tree this year either, who knows. We love it and are glad we finally put up a tree.

Ava was taking a nap and we put it up while she was sleeping. She did help put on the ornaments though. :) When she came down stairs, her eyes got real big and she pointed at the tree. She likes it.
