A Wonderful Christmas

Christmas is one of my favorite times of year. I just love the decorations, the Christmas music, the delicious goodies, and spending time with family and friends. Our Christmas was busy one with many stops but it was also nice seeing everyone. Our first stop on Christmas Eve was at Grandpa Victor's. They spoiled Ava with so many gifts. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to take photos since we left the camera in the car. But Ava had a blast running around playing with Victor's cousins children.

Then off to Grandpa Marks & Grandma Linda's home for their traditional Christmas Eve party. We always look forward to gathering with Linda's Brothers and seeing their children (Vic's cousins) and then the little ones. It's a big a crowd and it's fun to catch up with everyone while the little ones run and play and the Mom & Dad's enjoy a cocktail or too. We had a great time and below are pictures form our night.

Ava was so cuddle with Momma. We may not look alike but she's such a Momma's girl.

 

 Ava & Isabel were so cute playing together

 All the young cousins hanging out in their usual spot, the couch.

 Santa even spotted by to pass gifts to the little ones

 Ava was curious but wanted no part of him when it was her turn for her gift.

 She was content from watching him from a far while she played with her new toy.

 I loved seeing the girls play ring around the Rosie in their jammies

 And then they all fall down!

Then Christmas morning arrived and we headed back to Grandpa Mark's & Grandma Linda's home again to open gifts. We enjoyed a great breakfast prepared by Linda which included her famous & delicious french toast bake while sipping Mimosas.

Then finally our last stop was Nana & Vovo's home to open gifts and enjoy a delicious meal of prime rib.

Vovo just loved his lottery tree from all of us. It was Kristen's idea & such a fun one! Too bad he didn't hit it big but he said he had such a fun time scratching them.

Ava just loved her castle from Auntie & Uncle. She played with it all evening.

Thanks to all who made our Christmas so special. We enjoyed seeing you all!
