HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS

Merry Christmas! It was a fun day filled with family and food. However, all of the fun started on Friday night. That's when Charlotte "Chubby Wubby" Stewart came in to town. Let me begin by saying she is the CUTEST baby EVER. Not only is she cute looking, she also has a sunny disposition, so she is so much fun to have around. She even tries to have a conversation with you. Anyhow, Friday night I went to visit her at her grandma and grandpa's and she totally entertained. She smiled, she drooled, she "talked" to me.

Saturday night, she came over with her mommy and daddy. While her mommy played with my wii and her daddy played with my blackberry, she kept me company and we had a great time. She showed me her rolling skills, laughed at my jokes... what else could you ask for in a house guest?

Sunday I went down to San Diego and saw Laryna and her family. I think the kids were extra excited to see me since they weren't going up to LA this year for Christmas. They were assured at least one gift by my showing up. Little Kaleo is still a sweet little sleeping baby. I think he does his best given the noise level with the other kids present.

On Christmas Eve, we had our traditional Christmas Eve dinner... lots of food and four bottles of wine. They had me get my wii so various relatives took turns. It was so cute to see the grandma's playing. I got to beat up my cousin in boxing which was fun since it was a pretty close match.

Today at lunch we went to the Christmas gathering for my dad's extended family... Lots of kids and two babies born within weeks of Charlotte. They took a group picture even. Afterwards, we went down to Laguna for dinner. Linley was hilarious. As soon as I walked in, she was yelling my name and telling me how Santa came in and ate her milk and cookies. So adorable! She also looked very cute in her new dress and braids. I was waiting for her to yodle me something. =P
