Goodbye 2008!

My 1st Christmas!!

I'm so tired, it's exhausting being this cute!!

My big cousin Tommy sure is fun!

Hi,

Well it is almost 2009 and we had such a great year! Of course our biggest blessing was our little angel Calista and we are so thankful for her.

Calista had a wonderful first Christmas and had so much fun with family and friends! That girl keeps us busy for sure. First she got to hang out with her Tia Nydia, Tia Jeanine and big cousin Angelina on Tuesday. Then on Christmas eve we went to Tia Liz's to help cousin Danny celebrate his birthday. On Christmas day it was off to Granpa Jerry and Grammie Susan's in Santa Rosa for lunch and then a late dinner at Nana and Tata's in Vacaville. (Geez, I'm tired just thinking about it all over again) On Friday we had some of our close friends over for dinner and good conversation. Our last event was on Saturday when we said goodbye to Grandpa John and then celebrated his long life at GaGa Mary's Christmas celebration, it was both a sad and happy occassion.

Thank you all for helping us make 2008 great, we are so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family. We hope that everyone has a safe and happy New Year celebration and wish you all the best for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2009!!

Cheers!

Devin, Nicolette and Calista

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Hope you have a great celebration.

Sadly we also say goodbye to Grandpa John Lucas who will look down on us from above this holiday.

With Love,

Devin, Nicolette and Calista

What a lucky girl!!

Hanging with the Yotrio Girls: Elata, Alethea, Loni and Kari

Hi,

Well December is well on its way and Christmas is less than 10 days away, yikes! We have been having an eventful time of it though.

Calista has been entertaining herself to no end with her fascinating little hands, she just stares at them - it is quite adorable. It will be not time at all before she discovers her feet and toes since she is already enthralled when she sees them during diaper changes. She is also very vocal and coos regularly, but especially when she wants to let us know what she does or does not like. At her 2 month check-up last Wednesday she weighed in at 9lbs 13oz and is now 23" long. She is getting so big!

Over this last weekend Calista had a very busy social calendar. First we attended the Yotrio Christmas Party so she could meet all of Mom's co-workers. And on Sunday she finally got to meet her Great Grandfather John Lucas who will be celebrating his 101st birthday this week ~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA! Thankfully he is doing much better this week and has already left the hospital.

While at home and not out and about Calista has been enjoying some of her generous gifts as you can see in the pictures. The blue fishy swing is from Aunt Heather, Uncle Brian and big cousins Tommy and Maddie. And she really likes the bear swing from the Scavones, it is really neat because it plays music, a heartbeat and you can even plug in your Ipod. Calista says thanks for all the fun toys, I am such a lucky girl!

Hope you enjoy the latest photos. Now we have to finish our Christmas preparations, see you soon!!

P.S. - Devin and I got engaged on this date 8 years ago ~ we are taking Calista tomorrow to see the Christmas tree in Union Square where we got engaged. My how time goes by!

December Already!

Hello and Happy Holidays!

It's hard to believe it is December already and Christmas is just around the corner! Calista is excited for her first Christmas and liked meeting Santa. She also had a grand time meeting all of her Aunts, Uncles, and cousins over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

This past weekend we went over to Nana and Tata's to celebrate Tata's 76th bithday ~ Happy Birthday Tata! Here are the latest photos. We look forward to seeing you all soon!
