Tis the Season

Where to start? This Christmas was a fun, but crazy one! We were snowed in for many days and that kind of put a damper on all of our holiday shopping, traditions and just the spirit of Christmas. We did though have a wonderful Christmas and wouldn't want to even think of changing it!

Karlee's mom, Lois, made Ava and I matching Aprons for Christmas and they are just adorable. Ava looks like a doll in it. I have so much fun with her wearing it that I never wanted to take it off of her.


On Christmas eve we were going to have Christmas eve over at my Sister-in-law Joy's house, but the snow was just a little too risky so we had it at David's parents instead. We had an great evening snacking away, talking, and enjoying each other's company. By the end of the evening my sister-in-law Leslie said that Ava was feeling a bit warm and we decided to take her temperature and it was sure enough, 100.9. It wasn't sky high, but enough to worry a little. We then headed on home and got Ava dressed in her little Christmas jammies and were off to bed.

Christmas day was fun with the three of us first waking up at 5:30 due to Ava and her cough. We figured we might as well open gifts so we had a wonderful time doing that and then headed on back to bed. We then didn't wake up till 10:30. We quickly got ready and then went over to David's parents again and played some Sequence with Mom Waddell and had a yummy breakfast. We were glad that we could see Grandpa and Grandma Montague right before we took off and went on down the street to my parent's house.

When we got to my parent's we had a lovely dinner and ate my mom's famous 12 layer jello, which is AMAZING. We played Clue and laughed and Little Ava was acting a little bit sick, but still was a trooper and had a blast playing with Grandma and Grandpa. A funny story is that Ava has this little doll over there that my mom bought and Ava ripped off the head, but that didn't stop her from loving that baby. She walked all around the house hugging the headless doll and saying, "awwwww" it was pretty hilarious, if you ask me!

We found on Friday that away is starting to get a mild form of Bronchitis and so I was totally bummed because it was her birthday weekend, but everything worked out great!

We truly hope that you enjoyed your Christmas and we wish you a Happy New Year!

Ava is such a cutie! Those are adorable aprons, I'm sure you and Ava will have a blast baking together. Too bad she was sick for all the fun! I hope she is feeling better. It's been so long since we have seen you guys, we should get together sometime soon!
