I was definitely jealous of the kids and in a much different mind-state because XMAS is a fabulous. I used to be the anti-family function guy. I used to want to stay home. Me stay home? I know you probably don’t believe it, but I was like that.

Since my cousins and uncles and aunts moved back from the Dominican Republic (Dilone’s) we have been visiting Jersey for Xmas. About the last four years I would say. They’ve all been great times and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. I’m talkative as hell, but was always a bit more guarded amongst my family. Not anymore. I speak my mind and get into discussions ranging from baseball to the never ending “When are you marrying Jeannine?”

Below are some of the pictures: Mom’s, Grandma’s, Cousin’s, Family Friends, Aunt’s all looking beautiful. My uncle’s all chilling out. Some salsa and bachata mixed in. Introductions of new girlfriends. Liquor. It all equaled FUN.
