King Thanksgiving/Christmas 2011

Every other year we celebrate Christmas with my extended family at Thanksgiving. The grown ups do a White Elephant gift and the young kids get to open gifts from everyone. We had a good time visiting and catching up. Carli and Ava really enjoyed playing with their cousins. Ava pretty much attached herself to Allison the whole day. It was really cute. Neither girl got a nap so it was no surprise that they were asleep before we even left the driveway to head home!

Getting there is half the fun, right? The girls had a good time "playing" with each other and holding hands on the way to Fairfield.

Carli was really excited about her gifts! She got a mixer and coffee maker for her kitchen, a tutu, some books and a Minnie Mouse countdown till Christmas!

Ava got a tutu, books and a new baby doll (which she LOVES). She had a blast with the boxes too!

I didn't get as many pictures as I normally do, but can you blame me? I was visiting and enjoying myself since Allison, Jake and Logan had the girls entertained for most of the day! :)
