Easter and Other Happenings

Avery once again loved the Easter bunny.  Deep down I have always wanted to get one of those pictures of the baby screaming while visiting Santa/Bunny.  Nope not with this kid. She loves it. Haha

 I am pretty much addicted to Pinterest.  I found these cute treats so I made them for Avery's class.  They were a hit. 

 

 

 The bunny was clever this year and left a trail of eggs from Avery's bedroom door to the living room where her basket was. She loved following it.

 

 

 Not to into the ears but humored us so we could get a picture.

 

 

 The bubble gun however has a HIT.  That Easter bunny sure made her day with that one.

 

 

Happy Easter everyone.

 

 

In other BIG news.....

 

Avery now sleeps in a BIG girl bed.  I dreaded this transition but once again she has proved to be the easiest child alive.  LOL  She has not gotten out at all and even waits in bed for us in the morning to come and get her.

 

Also, we are potty training!!!  We have had the potty in the bathroom for months but she has not been interest.  One night something must have clicked and wala she is using the potty.  And pretty consistently too.  We make a big deal out of it every time and reward her with stickers and occasioanly a jelly bean.  I would not say she is fully trained yet but we are well on our way.  I will update in a few weeks.

 

Good job Avery!!!

Tahoe

We decided to take Avery to the snow for the first time at the beginning of March.  It was such a blast and Avery has been talking about it ever since.  She was super brave and LOVED sledding. She did a great job in the car (minus getting car sick and throwing up everywhere).  We can not wait to go again. Pretty sure this will be a annual trip for us.

 

I'm going to let the pictures do the talking......

 

 

 

Thank you the the fabulous Yorkey family for letting us stay with you!!



February at A Glance

 

February was relatively quiet around the Gatto house.  I have to admit, it was kinda nice considering December and January were packed full.

 

Josh always has to work on Valentine's day (bummer) but at least I have my princess to go on dates with now. Haha



 Avery did her first Valentine's for friends at school. 

 

 Pretty roses from the husband

 

 Auntie Shannon has been our Valentine's day dinner date for about three years.  We love her.

This night Avery wanted auntie Neenee to read her bedtime stories.  Super cute.

We got to hang with the cousins while they were in town one weekend.  These three together are a handful!!!

I also had an evening out with the girls!!  Love them.

 

 

 

Busy Busy Busy

We are almost a month into the new year and boy have we been busy.  I can not believe its is going to be February.  Check out what we have been up to this month.

 

We got to spend some time with cousin MaryAnn and uncle Ryan

 

We celebrated Camryn's 2nd birthday in Vacaville.

 

Had a play date with the Campbells

 

 

Took a stroll with Ethan

 

Painted our toes for the first time

And finally mommy and daddy got to go on a date.  Woohoo.  Avery stayed with her GG and Nono while we went on the Napa Wine Train.  Super relaxing and fun.  

Hope February is just as eventful.  Happy New Year everyone!!

Christmas 2012

Christmas was CRAZY as usual for us this year.  Lots of traveling, family and fun.  I had a bit of a rough start though.  The night before Christmas eve I had the WORST case of food poisoning ever.  I was not even sure I would make it to Christmas eve.  Luckily, I was able to push through and enjoy myself the best I could.  Josh had to work, so Avery and I went to the Schneider family Xmas.  I was still not a 100% so I didn't even take pictures.  I am kicking myself now.  Boo!!

 

Christmas morning we woke up and did presents with just the three of us.   Avery was so into it this year.  It brought so much joy to my eyes to see how happy she was.  Christmas really is about the kiddos!

 

Then we headed to Grammy and Papas house for breakfast and more presents.  

 Cheese

Then it was off to Napa to spend the rest of the day/night with GG, Nono and the cousins.

 Lucy and Avery are so cute together

 Checking out Ruby's present

 Avery LOVES her GG so much

 

The next day, before heading home, we all decided to go bowling.  It was a first for Avery.  She had a blast.

 We had to distract Avery in between turns somehow....

 This is typically how Avery rides home from Napa every time we go there.  Passed out from all the fun.

Already looking forward to next year!!!

 

 

Since we didn't have time to go to Global Winter Wonderland before the holiday his year, we decided to go after. 

 Daddy won this for Avery playing darts!!  Good job daddy!

 

Until next year.............
