Santa isn't so bad after all

The first thing Ava went for at 6:33 a.m. on Christmas morning was the left over cookie that Santa didn't eat (look closely at the first two photos below). She found the cookie on the paper plate that was sitting on the t.v. tray next to the fireplace. It was way too early in the morning for us and our reflexes weren't 100%.  Since this was Ava's first "official" Christmas with presents, it only took her three packages before she became a "pro".   After that, she really got into it.  She politely sat and opened her designated presents.  She didn't tear into every single package she saw.  In fact, she walked right past the tree when she first came down and made a bee line to the goody tray.
