Christmas!

The girls are anxiously awaiting Santa’s arrival. As new presents get added under the tree, Ava has to remind Ali that we don’t get to open them until Christmas….but Ali still keeps trying to sneak open a few, and Ava is doing the time honored tradition of shaking boxes to see if she can guess what is inside.

The girls have fun with the train around the tree…

And the girls helped to decorate the house too.

Although our house isn’t as done up as the house up the street (aka the “Christmas House” in Ali’s terms). We take a walk up (or drive by) almost every evening in December…

With NeeNee and Pops in town, the girls are excited to decorate Christmas cookies.

On Christmas eve the girls got to open one gift – Ava is busy with her legos while Ali has something Frozen.

On Christmas morning the girls were up bright and early – excited to see all that Santa added under the tree.

Ali went straight for the Frozen bag.

A quick glimpse of Ava in her frozen outfit before she got too busy with the gifts.

The girls with their new outfits (and boots to match).

Ava’s giant art set.

Later the girls (in Frozen outfits of course) were busy playing.

Ali decided that the baby doll crib is almost big enough for her.

And after a while, it was just too much for Ali so she took a nap.

Merry Christmas to all!
