Well this year was Ava's first Christmas and she had three of them. First we did Christmas at home with Aunt Kay. Early of course. Then we traveled, with out our doggies (unfortunately) to Tulsa. Tulsa is about a 4 hour drive with no stops...so we stopped and it took about 5 hours. Don't worry Bella and Beau stayed behind with aunt Kay and had a blast with the large bones we left for them to open on Christmas.
While in Tulsa we finally took the four generations picture. We also went out to eat Christmas Eve with the whole Mavers Clan. Ava did very well. She even fell asleep when the Carolers were singing.
Then Christmas day we left for a six hour drive to Missouri. Ava and I slept most of the way. We ran into lots of snow on our drive and the entire time we were there. You would think I would take a picture of that...but no I forgot. Sorry to disappoint. We stayed in Missouri for a few days catching up with the entire Shelby kids and wives. Talk about a fun and loud time. Ava finally got to meet her other uncles Tom and Jay and aunt Monique.
As for gifts we all got way too much. So much that Ava was surrounded in the car on the way home. Again another great picture I missed. I really should get better at this picture thing.
If Ava could talk I think she would agree that her best gift is the new bouncer that hangs in the doorway and allows her to be free for a bit and at the same level as Bella and Beau.
Now for the last update of information. Ava had her four month check up. She is currently 26" long/tall and 14.5lbs. At this rate she will be taller than Mike and myself!
