We celebrated Christmas early this year, because my younger brother was to leave for the MTC on the 23rd of December, we later learned that they wanted him to enter on the 16th instead. Luckily my sister and her family were able to make it, even though it was a whole week earlier than planned. He had is farewell on the 13th, and it was fabulous. We then decided to have Christmas on the 12th so that he could be there with us. We had a great time. McKelle was fun to watch, she of course got spoiled, and loved the wrapping paper! It was fun watching her have her first Christmas, even though she of course had no real understanding of what was going on, you could still see that she liked her new toys and books! We then got to have a small Christmas with Alex's family on Christmas day, and that too was so much fun! We also decided to go to Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakual, it was a cute movie, and McKelle loved dancing to the music, she really seemed to like it haha. Christmas time was great this year, spending with family and getting to see those that I don't get to see as often as I would like, I miss my sister and her family when they aren't here. I sure am going to miss my younger brother, but those in Brazil are sure going to be lucky to have him.
