Christmas with my Family

We celebrated Christmas with my family last night!  We had such a great time as we always do...  Here are just a few pictures...

We sent my dad on a little scavenger hunt to find his present this year!  We got him a guitar because that is what he wanted, he thought that after Christmas they were going to save and buy him one, little did he know that we had all pitched in and got it for him.





We got my mom some new cookware and we sent her on a little scavenger hunt too...  she only thought we were sending my dad on a wild goose chase!





Ava had a blast opening presents this year, she was so excited and couldn't wait until it was her turn.





My mom and dad got Ava a harmonica as one of her little gifts, here she is playing it with my dad playing his.




Ava was probably most excited about her digital camera that Nanny got her and she took pictures of everyone all night!




Below are just some random pictures that I took!







These pictures aren't from last night but I wanted to share them...  First are my Christmas decorations and our tree...





We also had a private photo session with Santa since Ava's first pictures didn't turn out good.  The photographer that took them did a horrible job so we placed a call to the North Pole and Santa came back down to visit Ava for another picture.




Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

It is Christmas at my house!

First, thanks for all the prayers about my last post.

It is officially Christmas at my house!  Yep, we have our tree up!!!  I am so excited!  I took some pictures of it last  night...  here is our full tree...



We don't have a theme with out tree.  Most of the ornaments are the ones that my mom has bought me through the years...  she gets me a new ornament every year.  Zach has some that he brought from his mom and dad's house and we have some filler ornaments like balls and snowflakes and random stuff like that...

I am a clear light kind of girl but my husband is a colored light man so I let him have his colored lights this year and next year we will have clear lights!

My favorite ornament you ask???  One of my favorites is this star...



My great grand daddy Giambrone made it.  It is a cut out of a star that he wrapped in aluminum foil!  I absolutely love it!

That is all I have time for right now...  I am about to head out for the day!  Hope you are having a great weekend!
