Hi Mama and Papa,

More family Xmas pictures as promised! We had a blast celebrating at Tita Emma's house. Family, friends, and new babies oh my! How we wish you could've been there.

Amaya's 1st Xmas

Merry Christmas Mama and Papa!

Amaya (with her Lolo's help) opened her many presents!
Lolo didn't mind at all even with all the mess she made.
She just kept on unwrapping box after box like a pro!



Lolo waited patiently as she carefully examined all her gifts.
Just what she's always wanted butterfly teethers and more turtle toys to add to her growing collection!




Lolo introduced her to her 1st Christmas Mickey Mouse dressed in a festive scarf (courtesy of Tita Bea).
Amaya was shy, but soon she was ready to give Mickey a big kiss!
"Muah!" right on the nose! Lolo just laughed.

















It's no wonder that by the time "Santa" arrived, Amaya just couldn't help but look closer. If she could talk she'd say, "Hmmm...this Santa character sure looks like my Lolo!"

Love and miss you!

Amaya's Xmas Turtle

Hi Mama,

Look what I got from my Ninang Myrnelle for Christmas! I'm still a little small for it, but luckily my Lolo was there to help me! I'm getting bigger everyday and I just wanted to stop by to say hello and I miss you.

Love you,

Amaya
