Back to reality

I love vacation and it's always kinda weird getting back into the swing of things....and that's just what we have been doing this past week :) Allie Kate had the throw up virus ALL day Monday (starting at 7am throwing up until about 8pm when I gave her half a fenegren) and she is STILL kinda queasy (a week later!) and had thrown up a few different times randomly throughout the week! :(

We got back to dance class and school a couple of days this week...LOTS and LOTS of laundry :) Got our Christmas tree up!!! Chad was out of town so Julie and Olivia came over too :)

I mean isn't she lovey?

We went to see Santa! Julie and Olivia went with us and it went really really well! I was worried at least one, if not all, of them would cry...but they didn't! Allie Kate was a little nervous when we first got there but I had to practically drag her away from Santa when we were done :) She was chatting him up about his reindeer! And she told him she wanted an Aurora costume! Then when we got home she realized she forgot to ask him for a cat...oh we may be in trouble!

these three are going to be thick as thieves :)

LOVE them!

So glad I get to see this sweet girl so much!

We took Allie Kate to see the new movie "Frozen" that's out...it was GREAT!

We found out some exciting news :) A new Vaughn is on the way :) We went to Jacob's birthday party (his birthday is the same day as Ava Grace) and SURPRISE!!! Ok so maybe I have known for a while but I'm still one for surprises like this :) 

Her holding this better not mean anything! haha

Cousins!!
