Arkansas

Well! Ava and I made it back from Arkansas yesterday afternoon. We had such a fun trip!

We went up up with Grandma Teri Wednesday afternoon to see our Arkansas Family. Ava is going....Ava IS spoiled rotten with love!

We had such a wonderful time seeing everyone!

Thanks Arkansas Family!

We did arrive on a bit of a sad note, Jimmy's mother passed away the night before our arrival. We are so sorry for their lost and our thoughts and prayers go out to them.

Christmas

As Ava & I sit here bright & early on her very first Christmas morning I can't help but think of how in awe I am of this beautiful little gift we've been given.

I think about Mary & what would happen to her firstborn child just 33 short years later.

I think about my own Heavenly Father who let his only begotten son come to this earth knowing the unbearable hardships he would face.

I think about how I love this little girl more than life itself.

I think about how grateful I am that families are forever.

I think about how extremely grateful I am for all the blessings in my life!

Merry Christmas!

Meet & Greet!

There is nothing like coming home to everything you know!

Grandma & Grandpa Armstrong met us at the airport and we were all delighted!

Ava got to meet lots of new people
last night! She met her Aunt Peggy, Kayla, Uncle Frank, & Aunt Gene!

Then she woke up this morning to another surprise! She met her Aunt Megan, Uncle Brandon, & her cousin Alivia!

Oh, there is no place like home for the holidays.....
