Getting ready for Christmas

The Ameduri household was in full swing during the lead up to Christmas. Other than a little hiccup weekend where everyone was sick (and Ava missed her preschool performance for a second year running), the holiday season has been great.

Our gym did their annual pajama party with Santa. Ali loved Santa’s beard, while Ava was a bit shy again.

Ava and Ali were awesome with other preparations as well. Ali had lots of fun with wrapping paper….

We also took full advantage of all the lights around. There were some great ones in our neighborhood – which made it more fun for our family walks.

One of the resorts nearby also did a great light display. Ava liked posing by the tree while we were waiting for the train.
