We hosted Christmas at our house this year. Lolo and Lola came all the way from Austin to spend two weeks with Nicky and Sam! It was a lot of fun having my parents here, and especially because I didn't have to cook for 2 weeks! Nicky easily warms up to my parents even though he doesn't see them as often. Nicky spent a lot of time playing with Lolo, and accompanied him on his trip to the PGA Golf store, something that Lolo likes to do every time he visits Arizona. We'd love to enroll Nicky in golf lessons when he turns 3! It just means a better chance for him to get a scholarship to Stanford (oh, that's where we've decided he is going to college...Harvard of the west!)
My brother-in-law Venu (Uncle Vinny) dressed up as Santa this year - on Christmas morning, we were all downstairs and in walks Santa..surprisingly Santa carries a cell phone and called Mrs. Claus to see if it was good to walk in now, considering he was freezing outside! Nicky's reaction wasn't what I had hoped for - he freaked out!! He has been talking about Santa, and when he finally walks in the door, nothing. He wouldn't even sit in Santa's lap for a picture! Hopefully next year Nicky will have a different reaction!

Nicky did enjoy opening gifts - I think I went a little overboard because there are still some gifts that he unwrapped, but wasn't interested in taking them out of their boxes. Guess this means these gifts will make a second appearance at his birthday in March!
Nicky spent a lot of time watching Lola cook - she made Dan's favorite, lumpia:
