Merry Christmas, Ava!

I haven't posted in a while... Mostly because Ava has a facebook page set up with all of her family as friends. It was easier for family to just see the pictures we post instead of taking the time to put together these blog posts. I sort of regret not keeping up with this, for Ava. I may go back and update all her big milestones at a later date so she has them.

This morning was her first big christmas. While she had her first Christmas last year, she was too small to understand or participate in anything. This morning she was very hands on. I'm compelled to write about this for several reasons. 1. I want to document this. 2. It saddens me that she has family that will never know how truly amazing this little girl is because they're too stubborn to pull their head out of their asses. Offended? Oh well. The only feelings that matter to me are my daughters. She has cousins she won't know or be able to spend these holiday's with. This is NOT because we live in North Dakota... Because, we've been back to Michigan since we moved and she knows and LOVES her cousins Luca & Joseph. That makes me happy. She would follow luca around all over the place.

Ava had a fantastic Christmas. She was so happy and excited to play with everything she got. Her favorite toy so far, her new born baby doll and accessories. She stopped opening presents and only wanted to play with her baby doll. She loves her Princess Castle and Mickey Magic ChooChoo. Those were her big toys.
