For our ward Christmas party this year, we had a brunch and it was so fun! It was easily the best attended ward party I have ever been to. Ava had her first experience with Santa Clause and it went really well. She didn't cry at all. We also got a big group kid picture with Santa. Ava is very lucky because within 3 months before and 9 months after she was born there were a total of 16 babies born. Most of them will be in primary and start Kindergarten together and we are so excited. We love our ward so much. It is more like a big group of friends, it doesn't matter how old you are or what part of life you are in, we have get togethers where everyone comes. It has been so fun to make new friends and we hope we can stay in this ward forever!
The first encounter- not quite sure about him...
okay- it's all good so I can smile

Now we are speaking the same language!

Oh man- where did the candycane go!?

Sam, Jonas, and Gracie- Ava's babysitter, Erin's, kids (aka- Ava's adopted brothers and sisters!)

This was a very hard picture to take!

Me rescuing the fake fireplace from Ava... Oh, and poor little Max crying (he didn't like Santa too much)

Wow, I can't believe Ava didn't cry. She was so brave! Most kids that age won't even get close to santa, much less actually sit on his lap. Cute pictures!
Cute pictures! We couldn't get Addison to sit with Santa at all! Good Job! How exciting to have your 1st Christmas with her!
