This was such a special Christmas for our family. The holidays are so much better with little ones around! Last year at this time is when I found out I was pregnant and now here we are with our little 4 month old baby! Time sure does fly by.
It was a very relaxing day of eating, drinking, opening presents, chatting, and a lot of laughter. We were even able to "see" Scott's family in Texas via Skype. Kekoa is the big hit of course, no one really wants to talk to us! :) Technology is a very cool thing. It is pretty amazing we can all see each other and talk!
Scott's turkey turned out so juicy and delicious. He also made his mom's amazing gravy, for the first time. The gravy also turned out so good. My new stuffing recipe with swiss chard, parmesan cheese, and Italian sausage was a big hit too. I think it will replace my sourdough stuffing that I usually make. My dad's secret recipe, never the same mashed potatoes were especially yummy!
Not only did I love having everyone over, but Kekoa loved having all the company here too. He is getting quite the little personality and enjoys hanging out with all the family around. He was so pooped out by the end of his night, but still didn't want to sleep in the evening. He took a super long nap today to recover from all the action of Christmas day.
The holidays really make me appreciate family and friends. Thank you everyone for making our first Christmas with Kekoa such a memorable one!
Family photos...
I can't stop staring at Uncle Mango's shirt! Fascinating!
Staring at my mommy while she plays and sings ukulele to me! She is just so awesome! :)
Too much turkey. Gorilla is a comfy pillow! In my family, this is called going for a "jog". Scott and my dad are jogging pretty strenuously. :)
Christmas presents opened and everywhere!
My new friend Gorilla!
Lots of stripes!
My chin is so cute!
Kaiwei is such a ham! He always makes Scott and I crack up. He is such a special little guy. Hard to believe just last year at Christmas he was the baby.
Kaiwei loved these block that Kekoa gave him for Christmas. He had fun knocking them down whenever Jenny stacked them back up!
Hmmm, my fingers fit in Gorilla's nose!
Say cheese...
Kekoa loves chillin' in Papa Beezy's arms...this time it is even better because he has his Sophie!
Kekoa opens his first wrapped present, with a little help from Daddy!
Toy or wrapping paper? Which do I like better? Paper wins!!
OMG Kekoa and Kaiwei are so cute. Especially that little cheesy grin from Kaiwei. Too cute. I am glad that you had a great Xmas.
