How about I just start with December? I mean it is always a busy time of year, but with Ram’s birthday the first week of the month things get rolling quick. Much like the rest of you, we are just hanging on and trying to enjoy it. My mom always says in January, ‘What happened to December?’ I feel like I will be asking that question here in a couple of weeks. This year is ending in a blur, and I feel like that will be my reality for the foreseeable future. 
It is official Ram is now a four year old! I have mixed feelings about all of this growing up. It is nice to see her progress but I want to keep my little girl. I know, its the struggle that all parents go through, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it! She had a terrific little party with family and friends. She has that Dizmang charm which makes her the perfect little hostess. Incredibly gracious and welcoming to everyone. I see Kelly in her at parties and gatherings like this. Ram just wants to make sure everyone is having a great time. It is pretty awesome. Ram had both of her boyfriends at the party. Yeah, I said both and yes, life is going to be difficult on ol’ dad. I will survive, I don’t know about the boyfriends yet!
We had our first Christmas gathering with Kelly’s family over the weekend. It was a great time complete with a visit from Santa. Turns out, Ram is a bit of a skeptic. She was pretty certain that Santa was in fact her Gramps. It was cute but it was difficult to keep her from ruining it for her cousins. She just doesn’t see how Santa has time to come visit when he is suppose to be getting gifts ready for Christmas. Santa has indeed been busy and hopefully Christmas morning will be magical for her. 
I want to wish you all a Merry Chirstmas and a Happy New Year!
