On Wednesday we drove to FW to begin our Christmas celebration with my mom and Brad. Andrea met us that night and we went to a local Italian restaurant. Unfortunately Rusty, her dog left behind at my mom's house, set off the motion detectors and Brad had to rush home to disable the alarm. The next day, Christmas Eve, we stayed indoors watching the snow fall. Ava decided to brave the snow and went to throw her first snowball. She quickly returned indoors to warm her freezing hands, but was always ready to return outside before any of us were. My brother and his girlfriend, Sarah were to join us for dinner that night after their church service. By this time the roads were icy and with nightfall hard to see. Luckily they made it safely there an hour later in what usually takes 15 minutes. Mom made steak kabobs and snow crab legs. I was ready to eat. Afterwards we opened presents and Ava was ecstatic to see that YiYi and PaPa got her the doll she saw in the commercial. We were to leave FW that night however with the weather we stayed and headed to Gilmer the next morning once the roads thawed out. We enjoyed our visit and the girls loved spending time with their YiYi and PaPa.
Lola preferred looking at the snow instead of being out in it.
