message to Ava

The Erickson family is a tight group of people. Not just the siblings, but the cousins as well. Since Jed, Emily and Ava have moved away for school, my kids have taken it kind of hard. They love Ava so much, and miss her. The little ones don't understand why they can't go play at Ava's house today. We explain the best we can, that they have moved far away and it is a long trip to go and visit, but the kids, Will especially, don't like that reasoning at all! We just watched a video of Ava on their blog, and the kids couldn't stop laughing. At the end of the video, Ava said "when are you going to come visit me?" Well this started up the whole conversation again. No we can't go see Ava today...etc. So the kids decided to make a video for Ava to let her know how much they miss her. As you can tell it was scripted, they decided before hand who would say and do what. It took three takes before they were happy with the video!

Ava, We hope you like the video we made for you, and we hope you are having fun in Chicago!! WE LOVE YOU!!!

Always,

Bennett, Isabel, Evan, and Will

I didn't have any audio with the video, but it was still entertaining watching Will's excitement. :)
