Owen's first remote control car
Ava with her snow globe- her favorite gift that she asked for
My watch from Daddy
The kids "helping"to open Daddy's gift
Ava wanted to take our picture: she did pretty well
In his glory with new trucks and trailers
Daddy with the instruction manual to Ava's new doll bunk beds: the first of many toys he put together!
Bedtime story
Even though we weren't gone, the kids didn't get to bed very early. We let them play with their toys for a while and then the bedtime routine had to begin. We set out cookies and milk for Santa, sprinkled the reindeer food Ava made at Monica's on the front yard, and we had to read The Night Before Christmas. Ava had many questions about Santa this year. She wanted to know how he was going to find our house, get in our house, and we had the emotional farewell to Gordy, our elf, which Santa would take with him when he came. It was fun to make all the preparations with her and watch her excitement. Shockingly, she did go right to sleep as we had told her Santa wouldn't come if she wasn't sleeping.
