Merry Christmas everybody!

We miss updating the blog, so you may find that if you check in now and then, we will add a few tid-bits here and there about the new happenings in our lives! It may not be quite as exciting as the last few months... but we'll do our best!

Christmas was extra special this year because it was a Gakos & Khalil celebration - which meant BOTH of our moms were heating it up in the kitchen! WOW! What a combination! I think you can see for yourselves in the photo above that they made sure we did not go hungry on Christmas day (Thanks mommy's - we love you!)

There were many a game to be played Christmas night, with air hockey being the Khalil sister's fave, as well as Dean teaching me how to play Nok Hockey (must not be a southern thing because I'd never even heard of it!)

And it wouldn't quite be Christmas without a visit into NYC to see the massive tree in front of Rockefeller center!

Having our families together this year was really nice, and we want to thank them for all the thought they put into it, as well as all their thoughts of us as we traveled! Now that we're home, I'm sure they'll start wondering why they ever missed us so much... hehehe.

Alright now, have a blessed New Year! Ring it in loud and clear tomorrow night! I wanna hear those pots and pans!
