Back to Missourri

After traveling 12 hours to and from Texas, we were readyTO BE BACK HOME for Santa's visit on Sunday morning, December 30th. A friend asked Yulia what she wanted Santa to bring her and she said, "Colyn." Colyn couldn't make it, since she's off snow skiing.

For those of you who look closely, you can see Santa brought Yulia some of the presents she received at the shower a year and a half ago! There were just so many toys when she first arrived from Russia, we didn't want to overwhelm her. But, after overwhelming her with our many present-opening events in Texas and Oklahoma, we decided to throw everything at her on "our" Christmas morning.

Pop in his Tigger hat!

A Hannah Montana cordless microphone which doesn't work!

Dancing in her new robe!

Like all of us, Kozmo is ready to doff the Christmas attire and get back to our normal routine!

Yulia has come up with several sayings as of late:

1. Drive, drive, drive.(Wonder why)

2. No school, no church. Football, yes.(Wonder why)

Happy 2008! Love, The Barrys!
