Thanksgiving 2009

We had a happy Turkey day this year! Spent the entire day with both families. Started the morning at Nana and Grandad's for a Thanksgiving lunch and then after Ava's nap we headed to Sloan and Elayne's for a Thanksgiving dinner.

Here is a picture of the Gilley clan

We have many things to be grateful for!

Hello Potty...

A few weeks ago, Ava came up to me one day and told me she wanted to wear big girl (Hello Kitty) panties and was done with diapers. I was so excited that she made my potty training experience painless. From that day on, she took it upon herself to use the potty. As a reward, she wanted a Hello Kitty stuffed animal like her friend Jenna. Granma and I set out to Build-a-Bear so Ava could celebrate this huge milestone.

She picked her 'bear' of choice, Hello Kitty, and stuffed her Hello Kitty. The end results!
