MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
On Christmas Eve, Ava was extremely concerned about the practicalities of Santa's visit. When he was coming; How he was getting in; And a hundred little details. She had mommy help her inspect the chimney to make sure it was ready before she went to bed. 
... all three of our children slept together in sleeping bags on Tristan's bedroom floor -- eagerly awaiting Christmas morning. Much to Ava's confusion, Santa came in the middle of the night and did not think to wake her. She was more than a little frustrated that he would come and not visit with her. After all,... everyone who comes to our home visits with Ava! 
Ava was in the forgiving mood though, especially when she discovered the Dora the Explorer guitar that Santa left for her. She strummed along with it all day, and we suspect that she'll be taking it to bed tonight.
Christmas Quilt
Although we all "loved" the Dora guitar (how long do those batteries last??) -- One of our treasured gifts this Christmas was a quilt made of African fabrics by our colleague Diane Bannister.
From our family to all of you..
We wish you God's richest blessings this Christmas and throughout this coming new year!
Thanks for taking time to share with us this Christmas. God Bless. Bev and Donnie
