Christmas Take 1

Aloha.

It's cold. Really cold. Like dangerous, mind numbing, take-off-your-gloves-and-get-frostbite cold. Seriously. I took off my gloves yesterday (0 degrees with -20 wind chill) after shoveling and in about 5 minutes or less my fingers went numb. Crazy. But that's not why you're here.

After vacation, it was time for Christmas! Being Ava's second Christmas, we were excited that she's more aware of what it means. Plus she gets what presents are now, and loves to help open everyone's. First up: my folks, and Doug & Crystal. We had the whole group over for an afternoon of snacks and season's greetings.


A little quality time with Grandpa. Ava was very cuddly that afternoon. And it's not often Grandpa gets the spoils.

Doug & Crystal gave Ava this castle. It's cardboard and you can color it.

Like this.

"Ava?!" "What? Can't you see I'm creating!"

Look at that blonde lion. What a "family" crest!

Next: teaching Ava the joys of winter.

Cheers.

Christmas at the Moyles no doubt was just plain fun. I love that castle and the flexibility it offers Ava to express herself! What a great idea!
