Jenny and Ava at winter princess ball

Here are the photos we took last night before we went to the winter princess ball.  Both girls were so beautiful and we all had a great time.  We were surprised that Ava lasted as long as she did.  She was dancing with Jenny and her cousin Jessica.  We had some other photos taken at the ball by a professional photographer so hopefully we'll be able to post those later.

Ava and her doll

R took these photos last week of Ava playing with one of her dolls.  She really likes to carry it around -- I guess she likes to have someone in the house smaller than her!  She also likes to say "doll" whenever she sees the doll.  It's really sweet.

Jenny on play date

Here are some good ones that R took last weekend when Jenny was baking with her friend Dylan.  They had such a good time and it was sweet to see them together.  The bonus was that I got to enjoy some of the goodies!

Jenny and Ava at home

R took these photos of Jenny and Ava last week and I loved them.  You can tell they have so much fun together.  I also like the ones of Ava trying to wear my dress shoes. She loves putting them on!

Ava opening presents

Here are a few good photos of Ava opening up one of the Valentine's day boxes of goodies that we got from our Texas family.  The girls just loved the surprises and so did we!

Jenny dressed up for international day at school

Last week, Jenny dressed up in a beautiful Chinese outfit in honor of international day at school. Rachel had worked with another father in class to decorate a China display, including a map and photographs of the country.  There were similar displays from other countries.  Here are some good ones of Jenny in her outfit (first at home and then in front of her locker at school), plus one of the display.

More Jenny and Ava on Valentine's day

After the photos of the girls in their PJs, we got everyone dressed and Rachel wanted to take a few more of the girls in their dressed up Valentine's Day look.  These were all taken on Jenny's bed.  I just love these -- especially the one of Ava with her head on Jenny's lap and the last one with Ava with all of Jenny's stuffed animals!
