Christmas Day

By Christmas day I was a little burned out on photo taking but I got a few.

We had a lovely morning getting ready for the festivities to start, we took a moment to have the girls open up a few gifts.
 They were really excited to get a pair of PINK walkie-talkies from Grandpa Bob and Grandma Barbie.  
 They love them and have been playing with them like crazy.  

 We had a nice morning gathering with my Dad and his whole family.  It was so nice to see everyone.  This is pretty much the only time we all get together so it's pretty special.  
 Love this bug.

 Auntie and Ava, they look like mother and daughter here to me.  : )

We had a nice morning, and then quickly cleaned things up and got ready for round 2.  We hosted Christmas dinner with Scott, Vivienne, Erik, Tiffani, Colton, Jessica, and Linda.  Bayli even dropped by and hung out with me late into the night. The dinner was perfect. Most of it my guest brought with them and we all just had a nice relaxing evening playing pinochle, talking, and enjoying each others company.  

It was a really great Christmas. 

(PS, since I am obviously way behind on posting, please do scroll down several pages, I just added a TON of posts and they likely will all get lost in the mix if I don't point that out.)

Throughout the year that followed I realized that this strong willed child would need a little more time, as well as mom backing the heck off. Before she turned two I came across a blog a mom was writing who made a bold statement of parents simply being lazy if they aren't potty training their kids very quickly. I was so mad about when I read that but also felt like maybe she was right all at the same time. It motivated me to simply take away Ava's diapers and sort of force her into being ready. I spent the entire day encouraging her as she had accident after accident. She managed to pee in her potty about 4 times and everywhere else about 347 times. I was so stressed out, so was she. At one point she peed on the floor and looked up at me
