Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we hung out around the house and prepared for the next day.  We also relaxed and watched a movie.  Ava opened one gift before bed and then it was time to sleep and wait for Santa.

Ava built this comfy pillow bed to watch the movie on.  And yes she is wearing a swimsuit in the middle of winter.  Earlier she helped me clean the shower and decided not to take of the suit when we were done.

Ava's Christmas Eve gift was the Snow White bathrobe I made her.

To my great disappointment Ava just threw her bathrobe on the floor.  She asked me many, many times to make her a bathrobe, so I expected a little more excitement.

Ava finally tried on her bathrobe after Rich insisted to make me feel better.  She still didn't seem excited and I about cried.  I worked really hard on this gift and I was sad she didn't seem to care.  I just had to keep reminding myself she is only 3 and is not trying to hurt my feelings.  She has since become attached to her robe and now wants it immediately following her bath.  That has made me feel a little better.
