Finals week! :(

So let me just start out saying I hate finals week! Eric has had multiple test everyday this week and has pretty much been locked in either Ava's room or our room. He even pulled our kitchen table in the room because he was falling asleep when he tried to study on the bed! If he's not at our house he is studying with his friends at one of their houses all night long. Although I'm not sure how much studying he gets done at our house because Ava knows he's home and she just stands outside the door trying to get his attention! It's of course the cutest thing ever so he usually lets her in. She doesn't necessarily even want him she just wants to be in the same room as him! Then she just walks around and jabbers! I do feel bad for him though it's really alot of work and he has been very dedicated. But luckily we have great friends down here and us wives have tried to keep ourselves busy! One night we got together and make sugar cookies! It was alot of fun! And yesterday Karrissa and I took the girls with us to run some errands. Which was a little crazy but we got some things to make bows. Tonight we got together to make the bows and watch the Top Model finale! Which was also crazy because the girls were all over the place and towards the end were very tired. Especially Ava who is cutting teeth!!(I know finally... she will be 10 months on Sunday!) I can't wait til we can actually see them! So anyway finals are almost over and I'm really looking forward to the Christmas vacation! Here are some pictures of the week! Good luck Eric I know you'll do great!! some of the cookies we made
