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!)

My brother in law Larry as he can often be found, behind the video camera

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

"Nana" bought Ava a table and art supplies to practice her craft

The girls put together a delicious holiday spread for everyone

A Christmas MONSTER!

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.

Kerri, Lauren and Andria have been friends since college. All three had babies within a month of each other. Andria lives in NY now so its great when we can all get together.

This was 8 months earlier, the first time Ava, Brody and Lennon got to meet.

Ava is attempting to walk and is happy to do so with a little help

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


Ava is quite the little cruiser these days, this is her balancing act.

What a great holiday season. Family, friends great food and fun gifts made it all the better!
