Christmas 2005

Christmas Eve evening was kind of rough. I was pretty restless all night with an aching back. Luckily, Kevin let me sleep in, and when I did get up, we got straight to our traditional "alone time" Christmas present opening. This is our chance to enjoy our Christmas before rushing around to the holiday hustle and bustle of family visiting.

Although I got a lot of nice things this year, this was probably my favorite gift. The very last box that I got to was simply labeled "Mom and Gabriel." Inside, Gabriel's very first present from his Daddy.

Mom went to the Philippines to spend Christmas with my Lola. Unfortunately, Ricky and Donna were unable to make it home too. But Rachel, Erick, and El were here to visit. Things were a little rushed and a little different, but it was still good to be able to see family and try to make Christmas as normal as possible.

Next year, Christmas will be a little different too, as we'll have a new little person to share the holidays with. Can't wait...
