Dave has had several interviews for Residency next year (I can't believe we are already at that stage) so Ava wanted to celebrate when he got home from some of them. We decorated with some streamers and balloons. Ava was so excited. She is our animated little girl and easily excitable. I took her to our local library a few weeks ago where they have a throne you can sit and read on. Ava sat on it and yelled "Look Mom, I'm a drama queen!!" I have never called her that but realized one of the shows she watches says it in it but she is a little bit of a drama queen. She is a sweetheart too. At the mall one time Dave and I stopped at one of those blood pressure machines to take our blood pressure and Ava wanted a turn too. She hated it and how it squeezed her arm. The next morning though she walked downstairs and said "Thanks Dad. Thanks for helping me squish my arm." She is always very thankful even for things she doesn't really like. I love that about her. Ella is growing up so fast too and talking so much. It helps when her sister is a non stop talker and is always saying "Ella, say..." and Ella repeats her. It is pretty precious. At dinner one night we were having spaghetti and Ella picks up a noodle and says "snake! SSSSSS." She loves her daddy so much too and is always talking about daddy and asking where he is. She is such a daddy's girl and I love it.
We are doing great though and loving this time of year from Thanksgiving to Christmas. There is so much to be grateful for. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
