The celebration started on Christmas Eve. With Ava in a Christmas dress, pretty hair bow and lots of beads, she and Mommy delivered boxes of truffles to our neighbors and friends.
After Mass, we hung the stockings and set cookies and milk by the fireplace with a note for Santa. The countdown began! After scattering reindeer food on the lawn we tracked Santa on the web. Seeing him in South America gave us incentive to get to bed so we'd be fast asleep when he arrived.
Sometime between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., Santa and his reindeer arrived! When we woke up this morning the tree was lit and surrounded by presents and a HUGE dollhouse filled with furniture.
Santa was so good to us all. Ava received books, puzzles, games, a box of play dress-up clothes, a nice pair of shoes and her dollhouse. Mommy is set to relax with pj's, socks and undies, a book by John Maxell and an Obama shirt and pin. Daddy got a new Titans hat, a book about wrasslin' and an old school video system with Galaga, Donkey Kong, Pac-Man and more.
We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and do our best to remember the REASON for the celebration. We are so thankful for the friends, family and all the blessings that continue to grace our lives. May your New Year be filled with peace, hope, love and prosperity.
Happy Holidays!
