It seemed like it wasn't really Christmas this year. No family get togethers to get to, no Christmas Eve services to go to, no family meals. Instead, we stayed couped up in the house and had our own little Christmas while the snow just kept falling. At the end of Christmas Day, Sioux Falls said we had gotten over 15 inches! We are thankful to be safe and warm in our house, but sure miss being with our families on this holiday. Ava was not much into gift opening once again. She sort of liked tearing the paper, but not for an entire gift or anything. She really liked her new doll. She also liked the playdoh set, but I think it helped that we all played with it together. Oh, how she loves company when playing with anything! I don't think Ava understood anything about Santa this year, but she did ask me to read "The Night Before Christmas" about 20 times. That is the longest book she has ever sat through, so that is a milestone in itself. We are looking forward to seeing our extended families hopefully this weekend if the weather cooperates!
