Christmas in America

Hi Everyone! As you can see I had a great Christmas in America. I recieved SO many wonderful gifts. It was great. I got to help decorate the tree with my Grandma, Grandpa, mom and dad. It was really fun. I also helped build a gingerbread house and bake Christmas cookies. It was really really great and everyone told me what a great help I was!

Nils had a great first Christmas as well. He even liked the rocking horse that my Grandpa Tom gave me. It even makes noises. I named him Brownie Brown. I can't wait to get back to the US so that I can ride him again.

I got a Cabbage Patch kid for Christmas too. My mom got one 25 years ago for Christmas. Can you believe that??? Well, anyway, I love my Billie Maybell. She even had a pacifier, which I like to put in, take out, put in, take out....... I got some of the old cabbage patch kid clothes from my mom too. It is pretty fun for me to watch my mom dress and undress my doll. :)

I also got some really cool baking things and an ice cream set. I love to make ice cream cones for anyone who wants one. Maybe I will even work for Colby Ridge one day, just like mom and Aunt Betsy did!

In addition to Christmas we celebrated Nils' baptism. My Oma and Opa came and so did Tante Kathi and Tante Julia. It was great to have ALL my family together. My great Uncle Dwight and his family came and also Karen and Jim (are we related???) ;) It was really nice. Aunt Betsy sang and Nils didn't even cry when Grandpa put the water on his head.

Have a wonderful day!
Love,
Zoe
