It's been a whirlwind of christmases .. ..yesterday found Ava and Mommy both exhausted, grumpy and a teeny bit emotional (poor daddy . ..can you just imagine his life in 15 years when all 4 of his ladies are that way?!). Thankfully, today has gotten increasingly better as we all finally got a good night's sleep, we celebrated Christmas with our little family, Ava FINALLY took a good nap for the first time all week and life slowed down a bit. Ahhhh. I love a day with no agenda!
But here's a massive recap of our past few days!
Christmas Eve found us celebrating Christmas with Ryan's family.
Ava opening up her stocking
Tasting Pez for the first time . ..someone is a fan! : )
Playing with Grandpa's Race Track
Going "fishing" with Daddy and his new fishing pole
Ava didn't think the matching aprons she and Grandma got from Grandpa were as cute as we did. 
Playing with Uncle David's present
This "play/pause" button is REALLY neat mom.
Snuggling the babies
Opening Aunt Callie's present
Playing hide and seek in her christmas pj's and slippers
Playing with the "choo, choo"
Christmas morning we opened stockings before church . . ..Ava's ring pop and new necklaces made for one happy little girl. The rest was just extras. : )
After church we headed off to Mattoon to spend Christmas day with the Prevo's. Ava got this cozy bathrobe from Uncle Bruce and Aunt Debbie.
Here's our resident trash picker upper hard at work
Grandpa Prevo opening up his presents
Ryan's cousin Zach was Ava's favorite playmate of the day!
This morning, Ava got to open her presents from Mommy and Daddy (and a bonus present we saved) : )
Ava's new stereo for her bedroom was huge hit. Here's she's showing me how she sings along with her new cd.

Playing with her new stroller and one of her twin baby dolls (thanks Annika for such a fun gift - Ava loved her new babies!!)
Driving her new car around with Daddy - we had to pull her out from it to eat Breakfast. She just kept wanting to drive her car and didn't want to get out!

She is TOO cute. Annika saw her pictures and waved at her! I love that they like each other.
Looks busy but fun! Ava's car is great! I'm sure she will spend a lot of time in there!
