Merry Christmas!!

Christmas was interesting this year since 1) we did not stay with my sister in her place but in an apt a few blocks away 2) Santa came to my sister's house and 3) Santa also was scheduled to come to Darren's parents' house when we got back to Texas.

So once again we bundled up (this time with Ava still in her pajamas), made the 10 minute walk to C&J's and then looked to see what Santa brought Ava.  Here she is first seeing all her stuff (no, that kitchen was not hers....Santa knew not to bring anything big to NYC that we would have to tote back).
 She immediately tried on the Cinderella costume Santa brought her and struck some funny poses for her (the girl loves to dress up!)
 The madness of Christmas present opening.
 Cort & I decided to take a few pregnant sister photos together.  We both felt a bit ridiculous (and laughed for most of the photos) but thought it would be funny to take some of the 2 of us...she is like 9 months pregnant here and I am about 6 months.  Cortney is all belly!

 Ava got dressed up for a few Christmas pics by the tree. Griffin had a matching dress but refused to take any photos for me.  What do you expect from a 19 month old?
 Fun photo take with my iphone and one of it's apps.
 At night, Jack drove us over to Dyker Heights (a neighborhood in Brooklyn that has crazy amounts of lights). As usual it was cold but it was still fun to see the blocks and blocks of lights.
 Back at the apartment, Ava & Griffin went for some box rides.  With all those Christmas toys, this is what they wanted to do.  That and play with potatoes.
 And then Darren saw my dad & I sitting on the couch the exact same way and had to take a photo of us. Like father like daughter.  Ha!
