On our Christmas Eve, we all went to Hollyhock Hills for Fried Chicken Dinner (Cullen, KJ, Grammy, G and Papa were all there). We ended dinner with Peppermint Stick ice cream and Avery went around the table toasting everyone's ice cream. Then we all headed to my mom's house and exchanged gifts with Grammy. Avery got some great Princess Palace Pets and Disney Princess gifts that she loved.
Then we headed home and got ready for Santa. We put out cookies and milk and Avery dictated a note for Santa (video was too large to upload). We were all very excited for Christmas morning to finally arrive!
Avery was SO excited when she came downstairs and saw that Santa had actually come. Uncle Cullen got up early and came over so he could be a part of Christmas morning and gave Avery some great new books. She was very excited about her puppet theater and new dress up clothes. She actually loved everything and played with all her new toys all day - never asked once to watch a show!! Papa came over and made us all breakfast and we played and relaxed the whole day.
That night was actually New Year's Eve, so we headed to our friend's house and Avery got to play with her classmates Alicia and Lila all evening. We made it until about 11 and we barely saw the girls - they had so much fun!! And Hung and I enjoyed actually being able to talk with our friends and have adult conversations for the night.
Despite all the family issues that were going on, we had a great Christmas and start to 2015!
