Despite behavior that was often questionable at best the past year, Santa did find his way to Ava Christmas morning. (Olivia, too, though she was pretty underwhelmed by the whole thing.)

Santa brought Ava a trunk of dress-up clothes.


He also brought a special pair of pajamas since Ava has been falling asleep on her own and in her own bed (big news around the Smith household).

Liv received a push-popper toy, but she was hoping for a new pacifier. This one’s worn out.


After a quick breakfast, we loaded up the kids and headed for the Smiths bright and early Christmas morning. More photos to come!
