Merry Christmas Baby!<\/p>\n

The holidays are the a time to spend with family and loved ones. A week earlier, our family started coming in. The boys flew in on the 18th and Kelina flew in on the 22nd and you got to spend time with your brothers and sisters who were amazed by how much you have grown since they’ve last seen over the summer. We shopped for our “Not So” Secret Santa and poked and prodded each other trying to find out who each other had. Some caved in and others stood strong.

So Christmas morning came and to celebrate the commercialization of the birth of Christ and the season of giving, we opened presents. Here’s who had who. Mommy had Jared, Daddy had Mia, Kelina had you, Mia had Daddy, Julius had Jared and Jared had Kelina. We had a wonderful time smiling and laughing at the presents that we received and thanked each other for the spendid gifts.<\/p>\n

For friends that weren’t there, we thank you too for the thoughtful presents.<\/p>\n

Later on in the day, we all got ready, dressed you in the beautiful dress that Kelina got you, boarded the car and drove to Yeh-yeh’s and Ma-ma’s house where all the Grand-Uncles, Grand-Aunties, Uncles, Aunties, and Cousins gathered. The food was bountiful and delicious. The joy and laughter warming. We all celebrated into the evening, took many pictures, and opened presents. It was your’s and your newborn cousin Kaiya’s first Christmas.<\/p>\n
