We opened gifts with the Carey clan on Christmas Eve. We had dinner with Tim, Tracy, Jim and Mary. It was super yummy. Tracy and Tim opened gifts with us before heading to Tim's Dad's house later in the evening. Tracy, Tim, Doug and I all went in together to get Michael Buble tickets for Jim and Mary for a March 2010 show. Jim and Mary seemed excited about the tickets. Jim handmade a very intricate keepsake box for me, telling me that he wants it to be handed down to Ava. He told me I was very special and wanted me to have the box. Of course I cried when he was telling me all of this. :-) It is a beautiful box. I will try to take a picture of it later and add it to the blog. (This year, I think we only took video of our gift-opening). Tracy and Tim gave us a cool game called "Chit Chat". It's a box of questions that are conversation-starters, to break-out when we have company. It's pretty cool!
Ava didn't really seem to be into opening gifts on Christmas Eve (as much as I thought she would). Within the hour, I felt her forehead... she was BURNING UP! She had a pretty high fever which disappeared Christmas morning. Poor thing, she felt pretty bad and it showed. :( Luckily it wasn't a long-lasting bug...
Here are some pictures of our time with the Careys, and other Christmas goodies.
Mary ordered these cookies from Shannon (Sirard). She always does an amazing job with these cookies. They were too pretty to eat!
Dressed in their matching pajamas for the night. Ava looks thrilled about this concept. ;-) (Actually, she was sick at the time...)

Christmas morning Santa stash!

Liam loves bears. Here he has taken the bear from the foyer area and brought it into the kitchen. He likes to sit and look at their faces while he just laughs...
Peace, love and stocking stuffers,
SC, Doug, Ava and Liam
