The Holiday Season is about over...

This Holiday Season was awesome. We had a great Christmas filled with presents, music, and family time. More importantly, this was Estela's first Christmas. She seemed very happy during all the holiday festivities. However, she seemed more interested in tearing and playing with the wrapping paper, then the present. I guess that is what happens when babies are young. We also had the chance to spend Christmas with my little cousins: Celest and Mefi from Long Beach. We got them a few presents and they seemed to enjoy themselves. On Christmas Eve, we went bowling and ate pizza and nachos. On Christmas Day, we just chilled at the house and opened gifts. Oh yeah, and watch football games. Good times.

New Years was also super-duper fun. Eli came from Lakewood to spend New Years with us. Football season is finally over, so it was a great time for him to relax and get away from LA. On New Years Eve, we all went to Tony Hsieh's house for his annual Pajama-jama New Years Eve Party. He has a huge house. Ate. Shot pool. Karaoke.It was pretty fun. These past few weeks during the holidays have been a blast.

2009 is finally here. I am excited to see what the New Year has in store for me and my family. I hope we continue to be blessed like we were in 2008. New resolutions and commitment to those resolutions, will make this year another great one. The biggest blessing we received during 2008 was the birth of my beautiful baby girl, Estela. I never thought fatherhood would be so rewarding. I am also more aware of how blessed I am to have a fantastic wife. She has attributes that complement me well. I am extremely blessed.

Hi Thomas, Rosemarie, & Estela! How are you guys? I hope your Christmas was wonderful. I hope marriage and family life are agreeing with you. I know that you guys were married in the temple, and I hope that you're maintaining those vows. I love you Thomas so much, and anxious to meet Rosemarie & Estela. With my mom being sick, I can tell you how important those family sealings are. So now I am on a quest to make sure all those that I love stay temple worthy. It is the only true way to peace & happiness, especially for a marriage! Love ya all.
