Thanksgiving + Nini and Grandad's 60th!

This year, we went to Tahoe for a combined Thanksgiving/60th Anniversary celebration.  The entire family was there, including all the cousins who flew home from college for the celebration.  We presented the grandparents with a calendar where each grandchild represents a month and got to write a quote or something that the grandparents have taught them.  It was very special for them and I was thrilled that we all got to celebrate it together.

Move to Calle Viento~November 2013

We are finally settled into our new house and we all love it.  Ava could not stop talking about her new pink room that Pop-Pops painted for her.  She told all her friends and all the moms at daycare.  We decided to transition her to a toddler bed too.  Here she is the first night, sound asleep!

Halloween 2013

Ava was a pumpkin for Halloween.  She did not want to wear her costume at all, but once she saw Ryan and Brooke in theirs, she was ready to Trick-Or-Treat!  She had so much fun ringing the doorbell, saying trick-or-treat, and then after people told her how cute she was, she would ask for two candies.  She was workin it! At Ms. Diane's they had a celebration, wore their costumes, and played games!

No hands!

The Pinnacles

We went camping at the Pinnacles campground and the Noteware's came to meet us for a hike.  Ava liked the caves.  She said they were scary but enjoyed using the flashlight.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

We had a family day at the aquarium.  Ava enjoyed it, but she'll definitely be more when she is older.

The Farm and beach in San Luis Obispo

In early October, we took a trip to the Farm (Pumpkin Patch) to visit the Milich's, Janet, and Sean.  We got our pumpkins and went to the beach during sunset.

The cousins had a joint birthday party at Nana and Pop-Pops house. The kids ran through sprinklers, had a caterpillar cake, and got a ton of gifts.  The following weekend, the Gallaty clan came over for another celebration where Ava got a scooter, Minnie Mouse couch, and tons of clothes, coloring and sticker books.  She is a very loved 2 year old!
