We had our very first Christmas in our new house, just 4 weeks after we moved in. We were so excited to have a space to share the holiday with the whole family.
Christmas Eve Andy had to work (boo!). Avery, Nana, Auntie Nan, Oma and I checked out the Church on the Ridge mass. (Apparently Avery had some demons to work out at church). Then we came home and had Christmas Eve dinner with our friends and fellow new residents to the Ridge, the Jaliwala's. Their daughter Sienna is the cutest thing ever - a year younger than Avery with the best laugh! Both girls thought Auntie Nan was fun to play with.
Avery and I wrote her letter to Santa and set him out a few cookies, before the whole crew went to bed. And Santa left a couple sleighs worth of presents under the tree while we were sleeping.
We had to wake Avery up Christmas morning at 9am (she was up late Christmas Eve). But she was sooo excited to run downstairs to the tree and see what Santa had brought her. To her delight, he left her a dollhouse that she is absolutely loving. It was such a joy to see how excited she was and how thankful to Santa she's been. She plays with her dollhouse every day, and this week she even said out loud while playing "Thank you Santa for my dollhouse!"
We spent the next couple hours getting through all the presents under the tree. Avery was particularly spoiled this year. New room to fill up! We got to spend all of Christmas with the Hermans family, including Oma!
Avery helped me make dinner. She also has a new favorite pose... the Greg. For those of you who have seen the Klisser Christmas card, you'll understand. :) Cracks me up!
Christmas night we packed up to get ready for a week in Whistler with the Hunts. Pictures to come!
Thank you to Mom, Dad, Oma and Krissy for making our Christmas in our new house a great one! We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas with your loved ones as well.
