So instead of procrastinating this year, I decided to get some Christmas pictures done of Max and Ava in November instead of December. They turned out cute. I have a bunch more, but here are a few of my favorites. Poor Ava was not happy during this portrait shoot. She really wanted to play with the animals and toys they have set up for making the kids laugh. It was actually pretty funny because Ava is normally so happy and smiley and then we go to get pictures done and she cried. Max on the other hand is normally super shy and won't smile at strangers and then he was all smiles for the photographer. Ha ha , I guess that is life.
I will attempt to send out Christmas cards this year too. I am not sure why I haven't done it before. I guess I just get caught up in the season and don't take the time to do the whole Christmas card thing. But this year I am getting started early so hopefully I will get it done.
I also wanted to mention a huge thanks to Grandma and Grandpa B for watching Max and Ava for the weekend so Matt and I could have a much needed couple of days to have a mini-vacation. We were able to go: to the Movies ( I heart James Bond) , to the temple, mountain biking, and Christmas shopping. Mountain Biking was sooooooo much fun! We went on this really cool trail that was CRAZY and we both only fell once each. I luckily landed in a bush and it saved me from any damage. Poor Matt went over his handlebars on a steep incline and he his arm got all scraped up. But he being as tough as he is, never complained once about it. It was such a great weekend. So THANK YOU to the most wonderful in-laws in the world. I really love spending time with my one and only and it was heavenly.
