-- Christmas Eve, like every year was spent with the Frakes side of the family and Christmas day was spent with mine. We went to Aunt Tammy's this year and had a perfect night with everyone. There is just something about all of those little cousins running around together that makes my heart melt. Watching them all interact and open gifts was pretty special.
-- Ava was up all day with only a morning nap but did AMAZING. She even tried to open a present or two but of course the best part for her was the paper - eating it preferably.
-- WE had to wake the kids up on Christmas morning which was crazy. Santa played a mean trick on them by bringing them coal. Inside was a note telling them to "be better next year" with a small message at the bottom of the page explaining that the elves thought it would be funny and that their gifts were under the tree. It was pretty cruel, but they handled it like champs and were excited to find brand new Android tablets wrapped for them.
-- I forgot my camera at Tammy's house the night before so only have crappy phone photos of Christmas morning. (Still a little peeved at myself about this one.)
-- On Christmas day Ava was trying to play catch up on her sleep from the day before and had 4 naps total. I had to open most of her gifts from my parents to her, because she wasn't awake long enough to really be a part of it. This was also he first year that my brother wasn't with us. He had plans with Gregory and his family so they were missed.
-- The kids made out (like always) and I'm still trying to find space for all of their new stuff. Currently? Most of Ava's new toys litter the living room floor. Finding space for all of it is going to be a challenge.
Chistmas, check.
On to the NEW YEAR.
