We had a fabulous time Christmas Eve at the annual Guerrero/Villa Christmas Party. This year we were all decked out in our tacky sweaters. It made for a funny & festive night. I love our family tradition of Santa coming close to midnight & everyone sitting on Santa's lap to get a gift. Ava didn’t make it to midnight, but she sure did have a great time.
After leaving the Christmas Eve Party we headed to my parents house for the night. Mom & I stayed up wrapping last minute gifts & setting up for the next morning: cookies were set out for Santa, stocking were filled, gifts were spread out under the tree & throughout the living room.
Christmas Day:
We didn’t get up until about 8:30. Ava was ready to go. She 1st saw all her unwrapped toys under the tree & couldn’t resist playing with them. After sometime everyone woke up & it was "go time". Ava loved opening up her gifts. She would play with a new toy then get infatuated with the wrapping paper/tissue paper. By the end of it all she was immersed in paper & thought it was so funny. I think her favor toys were: cozy buggy Mimi & Gramps bought her - she kept trying to get in & out by herself, her baby doll - she kept holding it to her chest & her leap frog learning book - she kept pressing all the buttons to get the music to come on.
Over all it was an ah-mazing Christmas. I was more excited about seeing Ava open all her Christmas presents then I was about getting my own. I cant wait until next year when Ava really understands the meaning of Christmas & starting our own little family traditions.
