Merry Christmas in STL

Ah, the holidays are upon us and we are back in the states to see the family. Our first stop was to STL, to see Mike's family. Oh what fun we had, minus the last minute shopping we had to do.

Mike and I celebrated our Christmas on Christmas eve morning, since was the only time we would have. Mike said I was getting a joint Christmas/Birthday present, but only had 1 gift for me on the eve and said "once you get this you will know what your birthday present is" So I open up my gift to find an I-pad cover. Mike found quite enjoyment in this. I had to wait until my birthday to open the I-pad, can you believe it. I decided on a new rule, joint gifts come on Christmas!

We had a lovely Christmas day with the family and here a few favorites of Owen as he opened his gifts...The jumping balloon, he wants to sit on

Checking out the trumpet

Now its his turn to play...

While in STL, Mike started enjoying his vacation by reading, resting, and getting scruffy!

Off to ELP for more Christmas time
