Christmas Eve morning was our little family Christmas. Avery opened up her gifts from Dave and I. One of her favorite gifts was her very own tool set- just like daddy's. Now she can help daddy fix things.
Christmas Eve is usually spent with Dave's mom and dad, but they were able to spend Christmas with Dave's sister in New Jersey this year. This meant that we were able to spend Christmas Eve with my dad's side of the family at my grandma's house. About 20 minutes from her house, it hit me. So instead of spending Christmas Eve with my family, eating Portillos, opening presents and singing Christmas carols, I spent the entire evening upstairs sounds asleep. Not fun. Thankfully, between Dave and my sisters, I got some pictures of Avery and Dave enjoying the festivities.
Just a little silly time before presents
I was so happy to see her waiting patiently for presents :)
All smiles with Papa
Christmas sing along with Papa and Uncle Skip
Lucas' new flashlight was the highlight of their night. Maybe not everyone else's, but they were really enjoying it.
We stayed the night at my parents that night and woke up to find that Santa had visited!! Auntie Ashley was there for the morning too.
One of Avery's favorite gifts came from Ashley and Patrick and it was her very own kitchen.
And thankfully she was able to open the giant package of food that Avery also got!
For Avery, it was a day full of Doc McStuffins! All Avery has talked about this season is how much she wanted doctor stuff and thankfully Santa was listening.
Later that day, we went to Robyn's for the rest of Christmas. I was starting to feel better and managed to only take a 2 hour nap in the middle of the day, so I thought that was pretty good. And I got to snuggle with Avery for an hour of it....that made my Christmas!
Such a sweet picture...
One of my favorite gifts given that day was for Ryen from her Auntie Robyn. My sister made her this blanket which has all sorts of tags and rings and things for Ryen to play with.
By the time we got home that night, we figured Avery would be exhausted (I sure was) but it was not the case.
This past Saturday we had our third and final Christmas, this time with Grandma and Papa Glacinski. She loves visiting their house because of all the toys that Grandma has!
Then of course it was time for more presents...
New furniture for her dollhouse
And a new riding toy!
While at Dave's house, we got to go through some old pictures and came across this one. This is Dave the day he was born. If there was ever a doubt (not that I think there was from anyone), Avery's newborn picture looks just like Dave's.
Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and that everyone was able to stay healthy. Things are going great on the pregnancy front. We are officially a week into the final trimester. We have a very active baby on our hands already! She moves non-stop! I think that I have technically started the "nesting" phase. Every day of break I have woken up and want to take apart another part of our house. Poor Dave has been great and just goes with the flow. We have settled on a paint color and are close to starting that job. She is going to be here before we know it!
