Awwwwwwe

To be home again! I love visiting family and vacationing. But I really love coming home again! I get to sleep in my own bed tonight!
Branson was a lot of fun. We did a lot of shopping and hung out with our friends and family.
A warning to EVERYONE!!! Do NOT visit the Toy Museum in Branson. It is a rip off. Almost a $10.00 entry fee. Here is a tip...save your ten bucks and head for a flee market or swap meet. You will see just as much and not be poorer when you leave.
I was right. Keali was walking by Christmas. She is everywhere now! She really came out of her shell this past week. She talks a lot and walks all over. She even started standing up to Kalyn. From what I heard, she attacked Kalyn when Kalyn was playing with a toy Keali wanted. In fairness, Kalyn had the toy first, but Keali decided that she should have it and pushed Kalyn out of the way to get it.

Kalyn would strip off a piece of paper, recognize what was inside then start screaming and jumping!
Keali is eyeing Kalyn who is trying to steal one of Keali's new toys.

The two BEST presents EVER!
Keali was really not interested in tearing paper!

We almost ran out of room to sit!

Christmas was fun. Kalyn was more than willing to help other people open their gifts, while Keali was a bit skeptical about the appropriateness of ripping paper (something she is generally not allowed to do).

My sis-in-law Shannon made an amazing family portrait for Mom & Pop Lamb. She put everyone in it, including the dogs, cats, rabbits, and turtle. PawPaw is a bit unwilling to consider the animals part of the family, but since everyone else does they got put on their anyway.
