Visit with Santa

Last weekend, Ava got to see Santa for the first time. She was so cute.....she just loved the "winter wonderland" they had set up around Santa's chair. And she wasn't scared of the big man at all! Here's a pic:

After we got back home, we tried to take a Christmas card picture, but no such luck....she was tired and cranky, though we did get a few cute pics of her and daddy.

Christmas just seems so exciting this year...watching her little face when she sees the lights on the Christmas trees, or listens to Christmas songs, or dressing her up in her Christmas outfit. Kinda brings a bit of the "Christmas spirit" back, ya know? Can't wait til the holidays get even closer, it'll be so much fun
