Happy New Year...almost!

We're off to Erin and Ryan's for a New Year's Eve soiree!!! Can't wait!! Ava ate pancakes this morning that her Daddy cooked, and she loved them!!! I don't think she's met a food yet that she doesn't like. She's just like Jimmy!!! Tomorrow's Jimmy's birthday! The big 3-1!!

Christmas Pictures

Here are some holiday pics...mostly of Ava G!!!

Annual Merrimack Girls Holiday Party

Well, our annual party was at our house this year. All the girls/ guys were there, except for Mandy and Mike who had another party and Bill who was working. We ate tons of food, drank too much and played with Pinto's pregnant belly! We forced the guys to play Friends Scene-It Trivia, and our "who knows who better" game from the Cape made an appearance. Our annual Yankee Swap was particularly good this year! Love my picture key chain, and Jimmy has already watched SuperBad 3 times. Erin, Ryan and Mel B stayed over, and Jimmy made egg sandwiches in the morning! How lucky I am to have a husband that loves to cook! Can't wait for New Years at Erin and Ryan's!

Ava's 1st Christmas

Wow!!! Was Ava spoiled!!! I've never seen so many toys, outfits, books!!! Everyone was so generous!! We had a wonderful time seeing friends and family. We hosted our first Christmas Eve dinner with our new kitchen! we had an Italian theme: chicken piccata, lasagna, ceasar salad etc. Jimmy makes the best chicken piccata. Christmas Day we open presents with Grammie and Grampie! Ava got a new wagon from Grampie that she loved! Then it was off to Weymouth to Grammie and Grampie Machado's house!! We had a wonderful meal, and Ava got to see her cousin Bryan! We had fun playing with toys, playing cards and Trivial Pursuit, and drinking and eating.
