Deliriously Delighted about Desi




We just wanted to let the family know that on December 19th our little nephew Desmond (Desi) Locken Reich was born in Los Angeles, CA. This is one of those exciting events that makes us wish we held onto that private jet we got rid of back on '06. Can't wait to see you little man

Let The X-mas Craziness Begin

This Christmas vacation was full of family and fun. The whole family had the whole week off together for the first time ever. Grammy made the beautiful candy cane dresses above.


If you were to pick a theme to this Christmas it would be dress-up. Colby scored some great dress-up clothes like the cool jester hat (above) and the pretty princess dress.


Vonny got some nice stuffed animals, including nemo. She also got these super cute jammies and the baby stella that she spent the day pushing around in her stroller.


Babies are kinda a tough read at this age, but I think that she had fun getting presents and playing with her big sister all day. The biggest hit by far for Colby was the Princess Dollies. It was really the only thing that she asked for, the rest was just her parents spoiling her as usual.

Grammy and Poppi came over to take part in the fun and see the aftermath of the presents (and of course contribute to it too). It was quite impressive.


After all the presents and an attempt at a nap, the family packed up and went over to the Stano's house to see what Santa brought them. Funny side story, a few nights before Christmas, the Stanos were over and Colby decided that she didn't want Santa to stop at her house. Something about a guy sneaking in the chimney when everyone was asleep didn't sit well with her. So said that she wanted to leave out a sign that said. "Santa, please skip our house and go to Elsa's." So at least she made sure that Santa wouldn't skip her best friend's house

We finished off the night with the arrival of Nennie and Grumpy for Chinese Food and a movie. Then it was a couple of stories and off to bed. We had to get our rest because Christmas was scheduled to happen again in a few days when the Casey-Sawickis arrived from Florida.

Merry Christmas everyone.
