Christmas with Ashley & Ava

Ashley usually comes the week after Christmas when Uncle Paul and Aunt Bonnie and Khara and everyone comes, but this year she was only able to get time off the week before Christmas... So she and Ava came the Wednesday before Christmas and stayed through that Saturday. 

It seems like Ava grows a foot between each time we see her!

Ashley and Ava went to church with us Wednesday night. We also had our annual Christmas Yankee Swap with all our church friends that evening as well as some snacks.

 
We opened our gifts with them on Thursday.

Nana and Pappy got Ava another Patch-the-Pirate CD. She's memorized several songs off the last CD Mom gave her! She can sing them word-for-word!

Knee and elbow pads...

 Ashley brought beautiful gifts for each of us. I've gotten a lot of compliments on the necklace and earrings she gave me.

See our new cabinets??!!!!! I'll post better pictures of the whole kitchen after Kent comes ... Mom wants to surprise him :)

Karissa and Ashley made some delicious cracker jacks ... (so glad I don't have braces anymore!)


Ava likes "Issa's" braids :)

Sweet, silly, smart, ornery, beautiful Ava!
 

Happy 2012!
