Sud's 1st Chrismas

  (Warning: This is a very long post because I did not keep up with blogging last month)

Family is very important to the both SUD and I, so it was a blessing being able to spend the Christmas holiday with our loved ones. While Sud was too little to appreciate Christmas and all the joy that came with it, SUD and I embraced every moment with our new baby. I do admit though that I eagerly await the time when we bake cookies for Santa, leave a carrot for Rudolph, and put our excited little boy down for bed on Christmas Eve. I'm pretty sure that time will be here before we know it.

We got our Christmas tree on December 8th. Because all the free space in our home is taken up with baby toys,  SUD and I decided to get a very small tree this year.   However, once SUD stood next to the tiny trees, he immediately changed his mind.  He said it wasn't right being able to look down on our Christmas tree. We ended up getting a tree over 6ft tall. It was a fun time looking for a tree with SUD, Sud and my nephew Forrest.

                                

The next week, Decmber 14-16th, Sud's parents flew down with Aliyah so we could all go to Disneyland.  Chaya, Barry and Rohan were suppose to join us as well, but Rohan got sick so they stayed behind to take care of him.  Aliyah helped us decorate our X-mas tree on Friday.  The next day we all went to Disneyland and had a wonderful time!  Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Jim watched Little Sud.  It was Aliyah's 1st time at Disneyland and, although we got there late, she loved it!
                                                  
                                                 
                                    
                                   
                                    

The carousel was the 1st ride Aliyah wanted to go on at Disneyland.

Enjoying Dumbo with Tha-Tha

She loved It's A Small World so much, she went on it twice!

Every year, we switch off spending the holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas) in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Area.  This year our little family spent Christmas with the Doss family.  It was a wonderful visit.  Little Sud spent a lot of his time with his Ajji, Tha-Tha, Chaya Auntie, Barry Uncle, and cousins Aliyah and Rohan. Aliyah couldn't get enough of her little cousin Sud.   She gave him lots of kisses, talked to him, sang to him and played with him. It was a beautiful sight to see the beginning stages of the lifelong bond they will have.
Sud's 1st airplane ride. He was awesome!

We got a total of 2 cousin pictures before the kids couldn't take anymore. This is our best. LOL!  I absolutely love it!

It was a wonderful Christmas holiday being able to spend such quality time together!
