Christmas in Brentwood

We finished out our Holiday Season with spending the weekend after Christmas in Brentwood with the Swearingen's.  It is nice to get away and stay overnight at Nana and Papa's house and Ava loved this sleepover even more because her cousins were also staying over.

The weekend started off with Travis and Christopher taking the children to go bowling.  This was Ava's first time bowling and she loved it!

On Saturday morning we had our Christmas and started off with Nanny bringing the kids bagels and poptarts up to the rec room for breakfast followed by a big homemade breakfast of sausage pinwheels and Nana eggs.  After this we opened presents for the next several hours.  We decided it was a good idea to let the children up all of their gifts first and then they went up to the rec room to play while we finished up. 

Ava got to do one of her favorite things and take a bath with her cousin Jacob.  I do not think that she will be able to do this much longer but for now it is priceless watching the two of them in the bathtub being silly.

Saturday we had a lazy day and stayed in our pajama's so we thought it would be nice on Sunday to get the kids dressed up and take some family pictures.  Emilie and I had bought Ava and Denbigh matching dresses and Nana was so excited to see her little girls all dressed up and matching.

We had another blessed Holiday Season and have so much to be thankful for.  Next year we will be celebrating as a family of four and I cannot wait!
