Laowai

Oh yes we did have a very, very enjoyable Christmas. Unlike last year, Bea had an idea that Christmas means something exciting and out of the ordinary. I had so much fun watching her with her cousins and aunts and uncles and grandparents. Here are some of my favorite photos.

Daddy bought this gal for Bea – He picked it out all by himself. I just noticed that someone else also got a dolly like this. We’ve named her Svetlana.

Bea got a great book from Aunt Sandy. It’s about a little piglet who can’t find her mama and she goes around calling out “mama”. So of course Bea has taken to calling out “mama” in the same voice that I use when I read the book.

Here’s Bea checking out mom’s terrific collection of ornaments.

Jennifer and I sure have fun dressing up our little girls. Here’s Jenna getting her hair curled for the first time.

Time to open presents.

Wooo hooooo – I’m high on cookies and new toys.

Brian calls this the ugly consumerism photo – but I like it.

Now she’s really getting good at this gift opening thing.

In this photo I’m wondering how we’ll fit all our loot in our MINI?

If you think this shot of Phillip and Bea is cute you should see the bathtub shots.

Thanks family for making our Christmas so memorable.
