Extra Special
Right about this time last year, I was four months pregnant. We were very excited about Christmas! Our family finally gathered after years of not spending Christmas together--my parents came, my brother came with his then girlfriend, my sister came with her newborn son. It was my nephew's first Christmas. What a celebration that was!
This year, it's going to be our first Christmas with our son--our first Christmas as a family! Too bad my parents and my brother won't be able to join us this time, but I'm still very excited. The Christmas cards are done, the tree is up! It's Lucas' first Christmas tree! It was hard to find time to do all of them, but they're done! I have a few more decorating to do, a little bit of Christmas shopping, planning for Christmas Eve dinner, and maybe a short trip to Tahoe, if the weather permits, so Lucas can have his first taste of snow. I also plan to do some volunteer work--my idea of giving back this holiday season. I'm doing one tomorrow and hope to do another one before the year ends.
This year, Christmas is going to be extra special! Lucas won't remember it, but I certainly will!

If i can recall, we visited you about the same time last year... met you and your parents so with lot2x's family [and i forgot my girls for a second there sa kaka-tsismis until emma cried out loud for hitting her head --- the aggressiveness in her]... yup our 7year wedding anniversary is coming up soon. Nothing major planned yet, probably because we're closer here to the activities we enjoy doing [probably experinece holiday theme park?].
great job on volunteering liz - wish i can do some in my end but we're fairly new here [trying to get to know the community yet]. probably just do some volunteering in ate ella's school for now.
merry christmas in advance liz and to your family --- enjoy your first family christmas!!!

Merry Christmas to you, Charles, and Lucas! :-)
