Lelu's first Christmas

Experiencing Christmas with Luka and Lelu this year was so special and fun. Luka was definitely more into Santa and really seemed to believe in the whole thing. He asked Santa for a crane, transformer and a police car. Santa got him a 4 foot crane that he loves playing with. He especially loves the long rope and hook! Even though Lelu is only 5 months old she seemed to enjoy watching her older brother open all of the presents as quickly as he could and she also liked playing with the wrapping paper.

The kids' school was closed for a 1 1/2 weeks. Tajalli took off work to take care of the kids and Tim worked every day except Christmas and New Year's with busy year end. It was nice spending so much time with the kids. Lelu really changed a lot in that short amount of time. She found her voice and now likes to scream to get attention; she can roll over multiple times in a row from one corner of the room to the next; she can sit up on her own; she loves loves her jumper! She still smiles a lot and loves to meet new people. She got her first tea set for Hannukah and Luka and her love to play tea party together.

The weekend after Christmas, Tajalli & Lelu flew down to LA so Lelu could meet the rest of our family. She met Uncle Dario, Grandpa Pablo, Great Aunt Sue, Great Uncle Matt, and cousin's Colette & Sammy for the first time and got some more special time with Gogo Anna and Great Aunt Carol. Luka and Daddy had a special boys weekend at home.

We feel very blessed this holiday season for all of our family and friends in our lives. Here's to a great 2013! Sending lots of love your way. xxxooo
