We went to a PJ Party thrown by PJ and Sarah.  Here is my award winning "Snowball fight" in pictionary
Jess came through on her pics as well
This baby doll is almost as big as her!
Ava's buddy Cameron who is 2 weeks older. This is her "cool baby" pose. She dances and jives when she has her sunglasses on. 
Cameron and Ava hung out at the cooler all night. They LOVED the ice.

Packing up to go to NOVA for Christmas

This is Ava's favorite one of my shirts. She loves that it is silky and tries to steal it from my closet constantly! It looks like she is trying to see what kind of alterations she needs to do to make it a dress for her.
"Definitely pack this Mommy"
You are not leaving without me Mommy

Merry Christmas from our itty bitty apartment!

Roommates Reunited in Richmond

Out on the town in Richmond for Jane Berry's 25th Birthday.  JB, me, Christine, and Melissa.  We are sorority sisters and were roommates in college for 2 years.
Dancing the night away!

I LOVE the gaudy houses decorations on the houses in Richmond. We took a walk around town to see them all 
They even pimped out a car!
GREAT WEEKEND!

Becca's Birthday

Ava helping Penny Lane break into her food cabinet again
Reading to Dukes
Duke's came to visit and brought my FAVORITE dessert in the world- Fruit pastry from Wegman's
I was definitely spoiled this year
Ava was eyeing my cake
She loved this cake too and was wanting a piece of it as soon as she saw it
Duke got me the Jim Shore Nativity scene set- I love it! Thank you for visiting Momma Dukes!

Random Pictures sent from Dukes

Peekaboo!
Balloons were her favorite part of her birthday. We played with them for weeks after her big day.
I played soccer this Fall with Team United in the VA Beach women's soccer league
It's my "zen" zone
