Welcome Tina, and Happy Holidays!

Her favorite part of the Hippos Go Berserk book:

Welcome to German au pair Tina, who arrived a week ago!  Here in the Riversdale garden and playing with dried beans with Ava:


The sink and the dried beans continue to be big hits:


Right at stage level at the kids song hour at Busboys and Poets:

On Friday morning Ava awoke to discover that Odie dog (with Ima and GrandTod) had appeared in the night:


Cooking bread with Daddy:

Ima, GrandTod, Tina, Mommy and Ava went to the zoo on Friday.  Ava thoroughly enjoyed the farm animal barn until the cow mooed:






Ava identified what she would like for Christmas:

Instead, she was presented with this haul:

Suffering from a cold, Ava retreated soon after present opening commenced Christmas morning:

She returned for a late morning rally.  Mommy got what she wanted for Christmas:  The Sibley guide to trees!


Packing peanuts were also a big hit:



Ava really seemed to hit her stride with present interaction around 9:30 p.m., when Daddy and Mommy were most certainly winding down:


We all got up bright and early today, though, and everyone minus Daddy went on a tour of the Library of Congress:
