Back Home Again in Indiana by Noah Broge

After mommy finished her tests, we went to the airport and got on a big jet so we could come home! Mommy said that Nolan and me were very good on the airplane.


When we first got home there was lots of snow on the ground so I had to help daddy shovel grandma and papa’s driveway. Me and daddy wore our matching coats and Grandma tied Wal-mart bags around my feet since I didn’t have any boots.


Grandma bought me, Nolan, and my cousin Madelynn matching pajamas so we could go see Santa Claus. It was so fun. Santa Claus scared me a little at first, but then he told me that I could have a dinosaur for Christmas and gave me a lollipop.



I got to play with all of my old toys and I even let Nolan ride my Mater. He was too little to ride on it when we left!


I got to hang out with all of my aunts and uncles. Mommy has lots of brothers and sisters so Nolan and I got lots of attention.






We also went to one of my favorite places to eat – BUCK CREEK PIZZA!! We went with mommy and daddy’s friends. They are my buddies too.


We went to the Sebald’s house and had so much fun. They made daddy a big steak. He ate it really fast.


Sarah Sebald was there too. She is so pretty, so I had to get my game on.



I hope long distance relationships work out...

On Christmas Eve we went to Grandma and Grandpa Riggle’s house. There were LOTS of people there! We had to take a couple of pictures just to fit everyone in.




Here I am with my Aunt Alexandra, my cousin Elijah and my cousin Roman. I know, it’s kinda confusing to me too.


On Christmas Eve everyone gets an early present and a flashlight that is just like the star that shone on the stable where Jesus was born. I got a Bob the Builder tractor and Nolan and Roman got trucks. They are little so me and Elijah helped them learn to ride.



Grandma and Grandpa Riggle got coupons to go out to eat. They were pretty excited.


I even got to meet my Great Grandma Marnie for the first time. Nolan liked her a lot.


I met my great Uncle George too. He plays in a banjo band. I guess he is a little nuts.


Christmas morning was so awesome. We got up very early and had so many presents. Mommy helped us open them.


After we opened our presents daddy and Uncle Zeke went outside and shot boom booms! I watched them from the window. It looked so fun!


Mommy said they had too much fun


All in all, we had a really good Christmas. Happy New Year everyone!
