12/25/2013  Merry Christmas! I woke up to an amazing sight under my Christmas tree. I was not excited to open gifts but I was happy to see the excitement on my mother's face as she was about to open the gift I got her, a jewelry box. We enjoyed going to my grandparent's home for dinner. This day I was excited to hear my Uncle Phil and Uncle Russell's families arrived in Pittsburgh to visit Hebron (Loni) and his family and to see the Steelers play their last important game of the season. If the Steelers win they still have a chance to go to the NFL play offs. Everyone knows that Loni's job on the team is a back up defensive tackle and nose guard and that he might not play. His chances of playing are slim if the starters don't get hurt or have problems. Loni does his job by being ready to go. He has played in all games this season except for four and he did well.  Loni's wife  my cousin Rebekah cooked a meal for all of them. Loni and Rebekah enjoyed everyone visiting them so far way. Loni said, "It was so fun. Awesome!" Here is a picture taken of the visit. Loni and Rebekah are in the middle in the back. My Uncle Phil and Aunt Vicki who I live with in Anaheim are in the back on the right next to Sione Tufui who is home from Air Force Academy. I often wear my Air Force Academy jacket to school because I like wearing things that represent something special to me.
