Thursday night, I took Ava shopping so I could get the essential food items for our family gatherings. We also went to Target to get a gift card for our daycare provider. It was a rainy night and unfortunately, the rain didn't stop until early this morning. If it were cold enough, we probably could have had 2 feet of snow.
On Friday, Joe picked up Ava at daycare and once again we found out Ava did not nap at all. Twice in one week! I sure hope those teeth pop in soon. We had planned on visiting Aunt Lisa, Uncle Tony and Ava's cousins' Ashley and Troy who arrived from Cleveland, but decided between the nasty rain and lack of a 
nap, we'd stay home. Ava was in bed by 6:30pm and asleep by 7pm.

We hung out this morning listening to Christmas music while I attempted to clean the house and bake cookies. Ava took over a two hour nap and I baked about 7-8 dozen cookies during that time. Whew! After her nap, Joe took Ava to visit her Great Grandmother Rose. She was so 
happy to see Ava. Daddy said Ava warmed up to her but was a bit shy around Grandma's friends at her apartment.
happy to see Ava. Daddy said Ava warmed up to her but was a bit shy around Grandma's friends at her apartment. This evening, Grandma Mary, Dick, Aunt Jenny, Uncle Brett and Ava's cousin Tayler visited. We
had a mexican fiesta, including chicken tacos, beef enchiladas and plenty of margaritas to go around. We all opened presents after dinner and enjoyed watching Ava open her Giggle Elmo chair. She was a bit weirded out when she sat down and 
Elmo began to giggle and the chair began to vibrate. She kept turning around to look at Elmo's face. It was so cute! She also got a cute outfit and a fun Little People activity game from Jenny, Brett, Tayler and her Uncle Phil, Aunt Tammy and cousins' Madison and Connor (in Arizona).

The next few days will be busy and fun filled. I hope I get a chance to post more pictures soon...

Glad that you were able to get cookies baked today, too. :)
Ava sure looks like she enjoys her giggle chair.
Sounds like a fun time - hope you had a great Christmas!
