Side note- we had a Pajama Themed Christmas Eve so that is why I am wearing PJ's at all hours of the day

Home for Christmas
We were so happy to be able to wake up in our own home on Christmas morning. Since this was Ava's 1st Christmas it made it extra special. This year was also the year for all the Vaughans (dad's side ) to get together for Christmas so we hosted the family on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. 15 adults and 3 dogs equals a whole lot of love and laughs! Just about the time that everyone arrived on Christmas Eve it started snowing!! It was perfect. We will always have memories of Ava's first Christmas as a White Christmas.
My dad wasn't able to be here on Christmas day but he came up a few days before and stayed with us. I couldn't have asked for a better visit with him.

She loves her Papa
As soon as it started snowing on Christmas Eve I threw a jacket on Ava and went outside to get a quick picture.
Ava met her Great Uncle Mark who flew all the way from Minnesota
And she met her 2nd cousin Dani
We played Apples to Apples and Wii
Is Santa here yet?
No, but my daddy is!
adorable
The Vaughan family is always full of fun so part of our Christmas tradition is to draw names and go shopping for the tackiest Christmas gifts we can find. Kinda like White Elephant but you can't trade your gift. We all crammed into our cars and drove through the snow to the Dollar Tree...in our PJ's. Funny how no one in the store found it unusual that we were all walking around in our pajamas.
