Ava's first Christmas!!

Merry Christmas! This was Ava's first Christmas and it was a great one. We started the Christmas weekend off by going to the Christmas Eve service at church. Ava got to go into "big church."  She had on her Christmas dress (mad that I didn't take a picture of her) and beautiful extra large bow. We sat near the back, in case we needed a quick get away. We were on the end of the row and ended up being the welcome committee...every person that walked by commented on how prettyAva looked and then she had to smile at everyone. We had a nice time at church and then came back to our house for a slumber party with Nono, Big Pop, LiLi, and Unca Matt. We all woke up Christmas morning and opened presents...we all wore matching jammies which was so much fun.  Later that day, Uncle Ronnie and Aunt Whit came over too.  It was so nice spending the day with family.  Here are a few pictures from the day.

Ava's first gift to open, a walker/shopping cart (Thanks Aunt LiLi)
