When we arrived, Mom had prepared a feast for us! We had taco soup, Mexican cornbread, a colorful salad, homemade nuts and bolts and a family favorite, port wine cheese and crackers. I just love port wine cheese! After dinner, we ate my favorite Christmas cookies with red and green cherries and chocolate chips and opened presents.
We had a wonderful time celebrating with them, and Miss Ava enjoyed her little self so much at Mimi and Papa's! Oh, and of course, she spent time with Leo, their kitty -her favorite kitty in the world! Here are some family pictures of our fun evening.
Merry Christmas, Mom and Dad! We love you! Put something in Leo's stocking...like a hearing aid!
Eating our yummy Christmas dinner!
When we weren't looking, Ava climbed up on the table and got a cookie!
Our family Christmas picture
I decided to post two of the pictures with Mom and Dad and Ava. Look at Ava's expression in these. She is turning out to be such a ham!
This is our traditional Christmas picture as a family.
Ava and Mimi check out Granny Lawson's crocheted stocking. She was my great-grandmother, and boy could she sew! Can I? Um, no. Bummer!
Papa and Ava play with her jack-in-the box. It was really a Pooh-in-the box.
Ava opens her gift from Mimi and Papa - her very own red rocking chair with her name on it! This girl loves to rock!
We are loading the car in the morning to drive to snowy Maryland! I hear 81 is clear - hopefully! I'll post again as soon as I can.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! A Savior has been born to us! Hallelujah!
