Feliz Navidad 2011

We had a wonderful Christmas =) Thanks so very much for every body's kindness and gifts to us. We truly missed being w Abuelos Loren & Joanne, and seeing the Lau uncles, aunts, and cousins. We hope we can see you next Christmas. We wish we were closer to you guys geographically, but we're happy to have the internet so we can keep in touch with each other.
So since we were not able to get work off to go to Atlanta w the Lau's we spent it w my extended family which is actually somewhat closer (or I relate to more) than my immediate one. We spent a couple days of December break with my aunt Sue (My mom's cousin that lives in California and the first member in our family, her daughter (my cousin) Erica that lives in Ogden w her hubby Scottie, even though we didn't grow up with each other I consider her the one that I relate & talk to the most, her brothers (my cousins), Joseph (who lives everywhere in the US lol), and Roberto & Vince whom live in California and I hadn't seen in a while. Also Erica & Joseph's dad, Uncle Eric, his wife (Diane) and my littlest cousins Miraya, Marissa, & Monique (15, 13, 9). And finally my uncle Pepe (my mom's brother, his daughter Mariel (my cousin) and Mariel's fiance. Rober & Vince didn't stay for Xmas, they just came to Erica's graduation and went back with their lovely wife and girlfriend respectively, but we had Christmas eve dinner with the rest.

We had our little gathering at my church building on Saturday (24th) at night. We had dinner, played white elephant (we call it La Tranza because we take the other's present and give them ours if we want and it is our turn), and we had a little Christmas program. It was so fun =)
Then Sunday we had church at 11am and the rest is history.

We were so blessed with more than we could have asked for. We thank you all for all you do for us. We loved our presents. There were some presents that got to us later and are not in the picture but we love and appreciate them. Thanks guys =)

Our two little Black Friday presents...

Here are some pictures of Damian's first Christmas =) We love you and hope you also had a beautiful Christmas and kept Christ as the center of your holiday... PS even if they tell you happy holiday they're still calling it a Holy Day.

Damian thinks is hilarious when we grab his feet and fold him in half LOL
