We made it to Ryan's hometown in PA on the night of the 23rd. Ava quickly made herself at home.
Reading Christmas stories with Grandma.
Ready for church on Christmas Eve.
Cute picture, minus the finger in the mouth.
The wool coat was a HUGE hit. I got it for $14 at a thrift store in Fla. and it was the perfect piece of outerwear for a trip to church.
Checking out the beautiful ornaments on Grandma and Pop Pop's tree.We enjoyed a late wake up on Christmas morning, enjoyed our breakfast and then opened gifts.
I made Ava her own jewelery, since she wears mine all the time.
A snuggly monkey from Grandma and Pop Pop.
Ava got a lot of new clothes that she wanted to try on - IMMEDIATELY! She makes quite a fashion statement over her polka-dotted pjs.
Layer 1 = fleece pjs; Layer 2 = dress and bloomers; Layer 3 = turquoise pants; Layer 4 = new pj top
Waiting patiently while someone else opened a gift.
Ryan's parents hosted Christmas dinner for his mom's side of the family. Great food and a great time had by all.
Playing with her new puzzle with Uncle Gabe, whom she flirted with our entire trip.
The Monday after Christmas there was a sledding party across the street. Ava wasn't a big fan of the snow (again) and didn't want to be put down - at all. She didn't even like riding with me in a tube down the driveway, but she didn't cry....she saved that for any time she was at all close to the snow.
Ryan stayed out with the kids for quite awhile. Ava and I lasted about 5 minutes, which is about a quarter of the time it took us to get ready to go outside! :)
Playing with Pop Pop.
Ainsley was fascinated by Ava and usually wanted to have a plate of whatever Ava was having.
"I'm SHOCKED!"
Another brief outing for Ava, but a great picture of the grandparents and grandkids!
That's a framer.
Waving to Daddy and Lane while they played football.
Making her own bed on the kitchen floor. I tried to catch her lying down and snuggling, but she didn't stay still for very long!
Walking on the ceiling was a big hit! Ainsley's turn.
Lane's turn.
Ava's turn, with monkey feet.
He caught a 22 pounder!
Being upside down became the theme of the night!
A worn out little miss. We had a phenomenal trip! Lots of great time spent in NY and PA, and we miss everyone already. It's been fun getting back into the swing of things here though. More pics to come.
Miss A fell asleep on Ryan with 10 minutes left on our flight into West Palm. She was a star traveler!
