They all look the same after awhile so I will just condense all of the Christmas'
in to one post.
We do 3 Christmas'. One was last weekend at Tonys Grandmas nursing home.
Then the 2 this weekend.
Christmas Eve was at his moms house and Christmas Day at my Aunts house.
It works out well for us, there is no fighting and we get to all places with out rushing or missing
out on any activities. However, I think I need to start asking an "eating time".
My family always says we are eating at 1pm. So I know we can get there a bit early, mix and mingle a bit then sit down to dinner. Where as at the in laws ,I guess I just assumed we would be eating at 3 since that's the start time.. and My poor kid was having a melt down. It didn't really help that she was running a fever and was hot but still. Lesson learned come closer to actual start time instead of early. Let her take a nap and come a bit late if need be.
The day before Christmas Eve Tony was sick. I knew it was only a matter of time before one of us got it after him. Since it seemed to be a quick bug running through everyones house!
Tony was sick Christmas Eve Eve and I had Christmas Day when we got home! Thankfully for the most part it was just a quick 24 hour bug. Tony had some muscle cramping in his neck. Which wasn't amazing but at least we made it to Christmas day.
Ava and Aubrey played in Avas new wagon during Christmas Eve. Even though she wasn't feeling well and both girls were starting to run on EMPTY they seemed to enjoy each other and the company!

She slept from 8pm till about 730ish AM. Still along time but I thought we would make it until
at least 8am. I guess she did sleep in the truck on the way home from Grandma and Grandpas.
Some of our morning pictures didn't turn out. She was moving to fast. I should have adjusted the shutter speed. I guess that's Hines site for ya!
She came out and noticed the stuff under the tree but went straight for . . . Mister Potato Head!
After we coaxed her over she noticed her new four wheeler! Purple and green of course!
She was loving it. Even tried to get on it herself.

| Looking apprehensive! |
 |
| Okay! I can do this. |
 |
| What do you mean I went from there, to here? |
We should have stopped her but, who was to know she would now be afraid of it :(
She hasn't been back on willingly since Christmas morning!
We had lots of fun opening presents at my aunts house.

Yep we are pretty boring, average people. But I do love my family very much! I hope your holidays were filled with family, food and love.
Cute pictures, especially the last one, I just love her face... guess I'm one of those people that doesn't get sick of looking at a million pictures of kids openings presents :)
