We had a wonderful time this last week celebrating Christmas will all of our families. The time off to spend as a family is really a great refresher. We spent most of Christmas taking care of each other. Ava caught a yucky tummy virus and Grace seemed to get the fever portion of it. At times her fever was as high as 104. Ashley and I followed up the trail but Ashley got the worst of it. All in all is was still a great time. The best part of all of this were the conversations about how Christmas is all about celebrating Jesus and his birthday. We hope that you had a wonderful time with your family and were able to enjoy the season and the true reason for it.
Grace really seemed to understand the whole idea of asking Santa for something and then waiting to see if he actually brings you what you asked him for. She asked Santa for a Baby Alive and was so excited to see her when she woke up. Baby Alive is almost like having a 3rd child in my house. She talks all the time about being hungry and to please feed her. Sounds just like the other 2 in my house.
Ava didn't understand but Santa brought her a pink cozy coupe car. Her favorite thing is to climb in on the side through the window. She really seems to have this Dukes of Hazzard thing down well. Hopefully, this isn't something she will need to know in the future. She does this so fast that I can't even get a picture of it.
Merry Christmas to each of you!
Grace took a spin on her new bike that Santa brought her so I had to post a picture. She is getting so big. It is so hard to believe that she will be 5 soon.
