Christmas of 1988 welcomed a new addition to our family. I am the little girl looking down at the small child, my cousin Mathew. He was kissing our 1st cousin 1x removed, Alyssandra. She was born earlier in the month. Looking on, in the green beret (I have yet to find one for myself) is my great-aunt Betty Arcala. In the teal sweater is my brother Tommy. Our great-uncle Tony (Antonio Arcala) was holding Alyssandra. This was taken at my Aunt Jacki Arcala's apartment in Long Beach, California.
