Christmas Family Fun

December 26, 2014Daily PostMore from 2014

This was Ava’s second Christmas and Harlow’s first! This day is all about the kids. Nothing is like seeing Ava having a big smile on her face. Harlow’s smile was internal this year, but I know next year we’ll catch it on film!

Holiday Windows Downtown

We got into the Christmas spirit by bundling up and heading downtown to see the famous holiday windows on State Street. Ava, in her owl hat, loved Santa’s sleigh and all the toys, and she even took a seat with a giant Paddington bear. Harlow stayed cozy and warm snuggled up with Mom.

Christmas Day With Family

On Christmas Day the whole family got together. Grandma held Harlow, all bundled up in her red sweater and white knit hat, by the tree. Ava enjoyed a big dinner with Mom and baby sister, and found a giant teddy bear to cuddle. Lots of hugs and family time.

Cake And A Big Family Photo

We finished the night with a beautiful strawberry cake, and Ava made sure she got her share. Grandpa got lots of snuggles with Harlow, and we lined everyone up for one big family photo by the tree. So grateful for this family!
