Our Christmas

We had such a wonderful Christmas and feel we have so much to be thankful for. The Friday before Christmas my parents came to visit for the weekend. We had a great time with them and Ava enjoyed spending time with Grammie and Papa. She was of course spoiled. We took Ava to gymnastics for a little Christmas party they had. We had a nice dinner here at the house after that. I always enjoy the time I get to spend with my family. My family has moved around some so home to me is just being with my family no matter where we might be. They left on Monday to spend time with my sister and brother-in-law. On Tuesday we celebrated with Justins side of the family at his parents. We had a wonderful dinner and it was so fun to watch my nephew and neice as they opened their gifts. They are so appreciative and excited and that is the best part for me. Ava still does not know what to think of all this. She always enjoys being with her cousins and her MiMi. On Christmas Eve we got together at my sister-in-law's. We enjoyed good food, wine and entertainment. My nephew Philip and his Papaw played the guitar and sang. I have to say it was so cute. We enjoyed a quite Christmas at our own house. Ava woke up to find Santa had come and left her lots of goodies. She now owns a kitchen which is almost as big as mine. Our house is filled with toys and we only have one kid. I use to think our house was big for us until we had Ava. Once you have a kid you suddenly aquire a lot of stuff. It is amazing how much space something so small takes up. We are looking forward to the new year and can't wait to see what it has in store. It is crazy how fast time goes by and how big your kids get so fast. Hope everyone enjoyed celebrating Jesus's birthday. What an awesome thing to celebrate.
