Our Christmas

I wish I had more time to update this blog but Ava just never lets me sit at the computer for more than 20 seconds before she starts climbing all over me and attacking the keyboard. She's doing this as I type which is getting very difficult!!

She has entered the Terrible Two's and I can't wait for her to grow out of them. She can be really sweet sometimes, but most of the time she's very bossy and whiney. She rarely lets me have any time to myself anymore. She's currently pulling on my left arm trying to drag me away from the laptop.

Christmas was very busy and our house was full every day. We had all of Graham's family with us and then had guests the following week up until New Years. Things are just starting to settle down now. Graham's mum and her husband came to stay with us last night and they are the last of the guests for a while now. We're going to see them again the weekend of the 21st when we take a family trip to Botton Village in North Yorkshire.
This was the first year that Ava seemed to understand who Santa Claus was. She asked him for a scooter and when she woke up on Christmas day there was a little pink and yellow scooter waiting for her under the tree. She was really excited and just kept saying "Scooter! Scooter! Scooter!" over and over again.


She received lots of lovely presents from friends and family; my mom sent her some Max & Ruby beanie babies along with a Max & Ruby book, Jenny gave her Cooper the Bear and a book, when you read it to him he responds to some of the phrases inside, it's really good! Sarah sent her an adorable pink Hobby Horse which she rides around saying "Clip clop!" all the time, and she was given some clothes and books by the rest of the family.

I didn't really take any pictures this year, it was just too busy!
