Christmas!

The Christmas holiday was a bit of a whirlwind, a fun whirlwind! On Christmas Eve we headed to my parent's house in Georgetown to hang out, eat and open gifts.

Ava and my sister Shannon enjoyed some quality time.

A quick stroll in the Barbie Jeep with cousin Morgan was in order

When it came to opening presents, Ava enjoyed pulling the bows and tearing the paper. Daw Daw helped her get to the good stuff inside.

Little Daisy Rose seemed less than excited about the gift opening

Grandma and Daw Daw bought Ava a pony

The pony was a big hit, along with about 5 other toys that are equally noisy (Thanks Grandma!)

All these gifts and the empty box seemed to be a huge hit!

We headed out to look at some Christmas lights, Ava was less than enthused

After all of this we had one dirty Rasta Christmas Baby!

The Saturday after Christmas we went to meet some friends at the Domain. Here Brody is hamming it up next to the Armadillo.

Little Lennon is quite the cutie. She was celebrating her first birthday while in town.
