To: Ava...Love, Adam

Adam & Daddy were off to Home Depot today to build, build, build! Adam picked this project to make for Ava...so sweet! To say the least...she loved it!
So you can actually see it...

Adam at Preschool...

Oh, Tooth Fairy...

Last Tuesday, 01.11.2011, Adam lost his first tooth...naturally, that is! (Of course most of you remember, he has already lost his top two front teeth via accident!) And oops...I didn't get the picture taken...BUT, today he lost his second tooth, naturally! So, Adam is now missing his 4 front teeth...the two on top & now the two on bottom! That makes for one BIG gap!And of course, tonight Adam will get a visit from the Tooth Fairy...oh, the excitement! (Here comes a sucker, two quarters, and by request & new from the first two teeth...a dollar!)

A Rainy Day at the Zoo...

Today was a rainy day at the Zoo...but we still had fun!...Especially with our new fabulous umbrellas...Thanks Nana!

Go Dawgs!

We are very happy Huskies! (Adam's excitement put him right to sleep!)Mark & Kevin couldn't be happier! PBR all around!

FINALLY a win at the Holiday Bowl! Go Dawgs!

Santa Claus has come!

Oh, the excitement & fun!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Oh, What Fun!

We decided this year...with a little push from Adam & Ava...to open our gifts Christmas Eve morning...why not? Oh, what fun!

Tags...

Today Adam picked out his gift for Ava & helped me wrap it...followed by making a tag for her...I overheard him saying, "Dear Ava, I love you so much! Merry Christmas! Love, Adam"...my heart melted! And this is what it looked like... As for Ava's tag for Adam...just a pretty picture!

Our Hurley Christmas

5 Hurley cousins...with one more on the way! (just to clarify...NOT from me...the other side!) The goofballs!

Our sweethearts...

Always a comedian...

The two hams of the group!

Nana's crew...

The North Pole in Gig Harbor...

Tonight we visited a local Gig Harbor family who has a love for trains (okay, just the Dad has the love!) WOW, now this is a hobby! He starts setting up the trains & village in his garage in August to have it ready just in time for Christmas! And with all that work, who wouldn't want to share it with the neighbors! We happen to stop by when no one else was there...so he let Adam drive them! Look at this!...It was very impressive!

Adam's Christmas Program

Today was Adam's Preschool Christmas Program...SO CUTE! My heart melted...several times! He has been working so hard...especially on memorizing & the signing of his Bible verse...& he nailed it...Yay!Followed with a few songs...the teacher encouraged us to practice with them at home...I asked Adam a couple times if he wanted to practice with me...his response, "No Mom, it's a surprise!"

The "Rum Pum Pum Pum" Song...as all the kids called it!

Maggie & Ava liked it!

Adam's FABULOUS teachers...Mrs. Fouquette & Mrs. Stephens...

Adam's Best Friends...Claire & Aiden! (Yes...twins!)

O Christmas Tree

Adam & Ava were VERY excited to decorate the tree this year! So, we let them! (With a little help & supervision!)

So serious!

All done & it looks great!...It looks just like a 2 & 4 year old decorated it!...Beautiful!

Saying "Good-bye"...

I know it's just a car...but I LOVED my Jeep! (Ask Kev how much?!) Today it was time to say good-bye...a little sad for me...Kevin & I bought it when we were engaged and I brought my two babies home from the hospital in it...but then again, Adam did get car sick in it a lot too! So, we say...Good-bye!

Adam's Wish List for Santa...

Adam wanted to make his Wish List for Santa...just like Brother Bear & Sister Bear, of course! Do you recognize most of the letters?!...The 4 he knows best..."A"-"D"-"A"-"M"! According to Adam, the top two are "Hot Wheel Race Tracks" & the bottom three are "Remote Control Cars" in different colors! Santa is prepared...with only one of each...& we're still working on what color he really wants!
