First Christmas

The girls and I came to St Louis on the 14th. My sister Christy, my brother Jacob and his girlfriend Norma were also there. Since my brother Jacob had to go back to Afghanistan before Christmas we celebrated an early Christmas with him and his girlfriend.

First we had a yummy Christmas dinner with all the china.

Then it was present time. We all opened our presents from Jacob and Norma and they opened their presents from us.

Laneah was so excited. She got a Rapunzel dress and wig. 

She immediately put it on and was so happy running around in it.

Brooklyn got a talking cookie monster. It was funny because you have to push its stomach to make it talk and it was too hard for her so she laid it on the floor and starting banging its stomach like she was giving it CPR or something.

Brooklyn was so jealous of Laneah's dress she tried to take it off Laneah. So I took her upstairs and put on her Jasmine costume and she was so happy to be dressed up too.

Dad was jealous too and put on Laneah's wig. It was so funny. He looks like an 80's rocker.

It was lots of fun and great just to be with family. We miss you Jake and Norma!
