Christmas with the Cromwell's

I call this year Ava's first "real" Christmas. Lance also pointed out that it is her only one by herself with her sister arriving any day now.

She was pretty surprised on Christmas morning, and quite hesitant as to what was going on. At first she went up the presents, grabbed one, and made one little tear, looking up at me to see if it was ok.


After a little approval, she quickly got the hang of opening presents and we were well on our way to Christmas bliss and wonder. We let her open all the presents, whether they were for her or not.


Then the grand finale... we had her tricycle covered by a blanket seen in the first picture, and she had no clue to look under it. After we were done opening all the obvious presents we got dressed ate breakfast in preparation for her demand to ride her new tricycle.

We unveiled the tricycle and she was so excited! With a HUGE smile she jumped right on it and pretended like she was driving it. We took her outside with it, and she is definitely getting the hang of it quickly. We have tons of fun watching our little girl have fun!
