One final Christmas

We went to Darren's brother, Mark's house on Sunday to celebrate Christmas with the Malcolm family. We all drew names this year instead of buying gifts for everyone. I think it worked out pretty good. Ava got a new puzzle and a tea set (which unfortunately she already has so I'll be picking something else out instead.) The new puzzle has been a huge hit. She has gotten really good at pointing out the cow, dog, and pig.

We had a great afternoon with Darren's family playing games and eating too much food. The games were cut short when there was a heated argument over the difference between hotels and motels. Guess you had to be there!

Aunt Jody even rocked Ava to sleep and she was able to take a quick nap! Parties are exhausting

Gave her an M & M to try. It was love at first taste! I don't know where she gets it, me and Darren hate sweets! ;o)
