The Holiday Season

We had a wonderful first Christmas with Ava and we were so lucky to be able to spend it with our loved ones.  We celebrated Christmas over a two week period starting the week before Christmas at my mother's house, then the week of Christmas at Travis's parents, and finally the week after Christmas with my father and stepmother.  Our Christmas was filled with a lot of love and laughter.  We ended the year celebrating with good friends and feel that we were truly blessed in 2011.  Ava continues to develop and change everyday and we cannot wait to see all of the amazing firsts that Ava is going to have in 2012!

I made our front door wreath at Cheekwood

Thanks to Nanny, we had an Ava stocking added to our stockings!

I made a second wreath for our backdoor out of magnolia leaves.

Ava's favorite time is on her play mat.

This is the first time that Ava tried holding her bottle.

Christmas morning with Nana.

Cousin Jacob was a little jealous that Ava got to sit in the swing.

Christmas morning with the cousins!

Ava was very excited about her Christmas gift from Uncle Chace.
