Christmas

This year for Christmas we stayed in our own house due to me being so pregnant and about to pop.  I have to say that Christmas is so much more fun with kids.  Rob has an app on his phone that will show you where in the world Santa is at different times of evening of Christmas Eve and Ava loved that.  We always try to help the girls remember what Christmas is all about by reading the Christmas story from the New Testament and Christmas Eve we open the last box of our advent calendar.  Last time we were home for Christmas was the year we moved into this house and we were still in boxes so the only meal we ate that day was at Ihop (the only place we could find open) so Ava was a little disappointed when I told her that I was making Christmas dinner and no we weren't going to Ihawk (what she calls it).  It was my first time making Christmas dinner and while it was extremely scaled down compared to the dinners we had at my Grandma's growing up, it was not bad for my first attempt.  All in all it was a nice, mellow day and fun to spend it with just our little family.
