My Christmas Gift...

My Christmas Gift came with a luggage...

...a luggage filled with gifts for me he he! 

I hope this is the start of a new Christmas Tradition...

Having you here last 2009 Christmas for Kenzo when I just gave birth was something I won't forget

...and having you here this year is something I was looking forward to.

Can I assume you'd be here again for next Christmas?!

Puh-lease!? Pretty Please with sugar on top?!
