A Beautiful Christmas 2012

Our Christmas, starting on Christmas Eve....

We got all dressed up in our Sunday best and attended the Christmas Eve candlelight service.  Beautiful!  When we got home, Ava opened up her Christmas PJs and a Christmas story book (from the Indellicates), both Christmas traditions.

We decided to take a drive to the Christmas lights show....
 

Coloring her gift from the Indellicates.

...and after bedtime Papa and Josh started putting together Ava's big Christmas gift...

I worked Christmas day, but only had to be an attending for the resident team, so I was home by noon.  We had a nice meal and opened gifts throughout the day.

Her Cabbage patch from Aunt Dena.

 

Giving the doggies their Christmas treats.

That night the Indellicates came over and had Christmas dinner with us and with my parents.  What a beautiful Christmas it was!
