Happy Holidays 2006
It was a good holiday season for the Baltimore Goldfarbs. Gift-wise, we cleaned up. Bruce gave me an iPod nano, and also a fantastically tiny and light digital camcorder. I gave Bruce a couple of non-fiction books, nice slippers, cashmere scarf, leather gloves, winter hat, and an iPod shuffle. Kaya's gift was a play kitchen, dishes, and food.
Kaya had a very good time playing with her cousin, Nyla, on Christmas, sustaining several minor injuries in the process. Many more gifts were exchanged, including a nice knife set for us! My parents hosted the big Perella gathering (that's my mother's side of the family). It was beyond raucous, as always. And tradition was not broken -- dinner was not served until nearly 10PM! We gathered with my dad's side of the family, the Rusens, on Friday 12/29. Again, Nyla and Kaya were wild children, though not as violent.
New Year's Eve was completely uneventful, unfortunately, and I'm a little embarassed to admit I was asleep before 11PM. But last night, 1/1/07, I received the best gift any mother could get: completely out of the blue, Kaya came up to me, kissed me on the lips, touched my cheek gently, and for the first time told me she loves me. She then proceeded to hug me, say "I love you," and kiss me multiple more times. She shared the love with Bruce, then we had a major three-way kiss fest going on. It was fabulous and, of course, I cried.
