We had a wonderful Christmas break. Jim and I both worked a little, but we kept the girls home for the better part of two weeks. My sister and brother-in-law came from Tennessee to spend Christmas with us which was special. Ava loves her Auntie so much! I think Uncle Matthew loved playing with Audrey the whole time too. They make a good pair.
We spent Christmas Day with Mary's family since we're all "local". We had a yummy dinner courtesy of Honeybaked Ham (me cook on Christmas? I think not.) This was the first year that Ava really understood the whole Santa thing. The first thing she said upon waking up Christmas morning was "Daddy, I didn't hear the raindeer's footsteps on the roof." She was sorely disappointed, but the frown fell off her face as soon as she saw what Santa brought: a huge Cinderella castle complete with all of the characters and furniture. She loved opening her gifts (and Audrey's) and we are truly thankful for all of the people who took the time and love to pick out such wonderful things for our girls.
The rest of our break we just chilled. Ava went to the movies for the first time (Princess and the Frog) and also experienced ice skating for the first time. Jim nearly broke his back holding her up for a half hour straight, but she enjoyed it and that was the main goal!
We rang in the new year with a Jeff Dunham comedy show courtesy of the Accenture box at the arena. Silence... I kill you! Oh we laughed... it was fun. Happy new year, all!
