Santa's not Ava's BFF....yet!

Is it bad, bad, bad that I love, love, love these pictures?

It's a White Christmas in Tempe!

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas.....In Arizona!

Yes Ken, Ava is laughing at your sweater!

Ava's Child Dedication

We had Ava's Child Dedication at Cornerstone Church in December which is similar to a traditional baptism, but it's more about Wes and I as parents, pledging to raise Ava in a Christian home. The ceremony was with a fairly large group of families on a large stage behind the pastor and Ava wasn't interested in being held by me or Wes. Little did we know we would be standing directly behind the pastor and pretty much on the big screen the entire ceremony so it was hard to hide her squirms and frustration. I'm pretty sure the whole church could see me sweat as I tried to maintain some control of Ava and still listen to the pastor's message!
