We met Dada at the annual Family Christmas Party tonight. I have been aching to have these family traditions with Kaiya, Kaelani, Danny, and I together! I dreamed since the end of 2010 of all the fun exciting times we would have as a family together. It broke my heart and tore me apart to not have Dada with us last year. I pray this is the first of many of these for the four of us!!
We arrived at the same time as Dada. I brought potato salad because Grandma thinks it is pretty amazing! I think Grandma's barbeque sandwiches are pretty amazing!! Dada can attest, I eat like 2 or 3 of them when they are available. Our first Christmas Party together, we arrived a little late and got to eat in the big gymnasium just Dada and I! It was so much fun to just sit and talk to him!! And, I got to stuff my face and know that no one was watching or cared!! Tonight, we were on time! So, we got to interact with everyone. I have to be honest however, I secretly always want to just be able to have face to face interaction with Dada. I like talking to him! I like him sharing ideas and I like sharing ideas!!
We ate dinner, Dada took pictures, and I was again really jealous of "Cami the Camera." I love that he give her so much attention because we get lots of pictures and get to retain the memories from those pictures. But, I get jealous because she takes Dada away from me and us. I miss just getting to interact, just be us, a family. Eat, talk, laugh, hold hands, joke, giggle, sing together, sit close together, and so many things we love to do. Yet, I know Dada loves getting pictures of everything and I know that other family members will benefit from them also.
Dada got lots of pictures of the eating, the piñata, the gift exchange, and the nativity presentation. It was lots of fun! it was nice to be there with Dada as a family. It was good to see Dada happy, and knowing he had pain that he was still there with us. It was a good night! May every Christmas just get better and better for the four of us!!

My favorite is when other people get pictures of us! We never have pictures together of just us interacting.
