Southlake Oktoberfest


We went to the Southlake Oktoberfest this weekend and had a really good time.  Before heading to the festival we attended one of Jason's cousin's two little girls birthday party which was outside.  I however did not win mother of the year because my daughter did not have a jacket.  Awesome!  Another Mom loaned her a jacket so she would not freeze.  Good one Ashley!  She got to shoot a bow and arrow, play horse shoes, and play at the park.  The best thing about it was that the girls requested you bring an unwrapped gift for charity rather than bringing a birthday gift.  How awesome is that.  They donate the gifts to a Foster program.  I love seeing children give rather than receive.  Avery and I prayed over our gift we took, Ave had a hard time giving it away because it was something she liked, but after reminding her that she is a very blessed little girl she parted ways.  I was proud of her.  We prayed that the gift find a special little girl and put a smile on her face come Christmas morning.  Gigi and Papaw joined us and the weather was perfect....minus the rain at the very end right after getting the girls in the car.  It was 55 degrees with a chilly breeze which threw us right into jackets and UGGS!  Love Fall and everything that comes with it; tall boots, scarves, Pumpkin Spice Latte (thank you Lindsey for getting me hooked), sweaters, multicolored leaves, pumpkins, Fall candles, and on and on.  We are loving our new area and it seems like there is something going on every weekend! 
I LOVE this picture!  It reminds me of Ave so much and she is so happy here!  I could eat her up!

She loves riding in sister's seat!  Time to buy the second seat so they both have one!

She loved the helicopter ride!  While waiting in line for the ride her and this little boy started holding hands....the next thing I knew he wanted her to ride with him!  He later told the volunteer worker that she was his girlfriend.  Hold on lil' man......she is three.  They laughed so loud the entire ride.  It was cute, but I may have to keep a sharp eye on her! 


Ave did all six bounce houses and had so much fun!
