Grandma and Papa came over with Aunt Janeen and Derek on Christmas day for gifts and lunch.
Ava was yelling and saying "YAY! Ariel..." as she opened her gift! She also got a "Dollie and Me" doll and named her Alex. Alex is her first "big sister" doll! SO precious!
Was just also excited and yelling "YAY!" when he opened his new helicopter.
"It's what I wanted!!!"
The kids made Reindeer Hand print Ornaments for all of the grandparents.
Naturally, they loved the gifts!
We spent the afternoon playing with the new toys and enjoying the nice summer Christmas weather!
We had Christmas at their house on the 27th when Uncle Jamie and the rest of the family were in town.

the 3 loves of my life!
Aunt Melissa and Uncle Jamie know how to make their niece and nephew smile!
On Christmas Day evening, we went over the Nonnie and Papa's house for Christmas dinner and gifts. We had a traditional ham feast and topped it off with homemade Christmas cookies! Nonnie makes THE BEST cookies! Wish we could convince her to make them all year round. ;0)
Nonnie sewed Ava a diaper bag for her babies (and for when she becomes a big sister). There were a few extra surprises inside. Boy, does she LOVE that bag! She always has is stocked with diapers, 2 bottles, clothes, and a few toys (mostly little princesses).
Aunt Gina got a new bag too!

Ava's "big gift" was a changing table for her babies!
We spent the next several days changing her babies into new diapers and clothes.

Colin's Christmas with Nonnie and Papa was a few days later.
We have already used his new games and puzzles a few times each!
Uncle Andres bought him a "switch blade" comb! Colin thinks it is AWESOME! lol
Anyone up for a game of 'Head Bandz'?!
We had a lot of laughs going on!!! Great gift Uncle Andrew.
Ava and Uncle Andres always have a good tickle fight or two before the night is over!
Merry Christmas from the Raimondo's!!!
