Christmas night we went to my parents' house to celebrate Christmas with gifts and the traditional homemade ravioli dinner. Ava got a LeapPad 2 from KK and Josh. When she opened it she yelled out, "An iPad!!"
Josh is hiding behind his amazing new Keurig machine.
Ava had to help Nonna open her blowdryer ornament.
Maybe Josh won't have to stop at Starbucks as often now...NAH!!!
Ava was so excited to open her socks and undies from Nonna and Papa.
Kaitlin got a "girl toolbox" from "Dash Inc." Kaitlin wanted a tool box but really wanted it to be pink and girly. Dad had a tool box and with Josh's help they made it into a "girly toolbox" for Kaitlin. Josh painted it pink and silver and even put truck bed liner on the inside. The combined effort of Dad and Josh lead to the "Dash Inc." label.
Ava had to help Chris open his big box. He got his air compressor back. As of what we know now, we believe all of Chris's toys have been replaced except a couple things.
Just giving Dad a gift would be too simple and would not provide enough amusement for Kaitlin and I. We always have to be a little difficult...it suits dad anyway! His first gift was a singing, moving bass ornament. He thought it was pretty funny, but didn't realize it was the first clue to his real gift.
Gift #2...
..."A pair of glasses?! I don't really get it!" He continued to play along even though the glasses stumped him.
Dad's reaction to the strength of those glasses.
The last box had a post it attached to money that said he could only keep the money if he was able to put the clues together to tell us what the money was for. Before he even opened the money he put the ornament and glasses clues together to guess a fish finder. We let him keep the money!
Ava got her first fishing pole from Nonna and Papa. This is my favorite picture because of the huge smiles on Chris's and Dad's faces too. I'm not really sure if the guys or Ava was more excited about that fishing pole.
Papa got that pole ready to go in no time.
Before we knew it Ava was practicing her casting in the living room. She said the fishing pole was her best Christmas present!
We had our matching jammies again this year. We all drown a little in them, but they were still cozy!
Lovins for Ava!
Of course a meal and Nonna and Papa's would not be complete without grasshoppers and the little assistant to help.
