New Year & Holiday Fun

Hope everyone had a lovely New Year’s Eve and have been enjoying the day today. As promised, a bumper crop of what various ‘ballers have been doing on their holidays. There have been engagements, baby announcements, singing in the mirror while dressed in a towel (Cristiano), blue gradient shoes (Sergio), celebrating on a camel (Mateo & Lukita) and a rather ungracious joke about a rival (Toni Kroos, being a bit rude, IMHO).  Let’s dig in! (It’s long so be prepared!)

Welcome To The World, Aria Callejon Ponsati!

One of my fave couples tied the knot yesterday: Jose Callejon & his long time love, Marta Ponsati Romero. 

G-Money Returns, Halloweeny & Color Me Shocked! (NOT)

“Oh shiz! Gareth is back. How are you going to break it to James?!”

It’s been quite a weekend! We handily won our match and now sit atop the table. Huzzah!  And Gareth rejoined the group today, which is great news. The 6 outfield players who didn’t start worked out with Gareth while Marcelo & Cris trained on their own. We have a Champions League match against Liverpool on Tuesday.

She’s here! Little Miss India Callejon has arrived! Thanks so much to watishsita mariarosaria for giving me the good news. Picture of the proud papi after the jump.

Calleti & Marta Decide On A Baby Name

Meant to post this other day, but other bebes were occupying my mind. Now that San Baby is safely in the world, we can look to other woobinses. We knew Marta & Calleti were having a girl, but it seems that they’ve chosen the name India for her.

Ringing In The New Year: Baller Style

How did some of our faves ring in the New Year? Well, Marcelo started by posting this, but had to share quite a few more pictures.

More Christmas Vids

With glacial pace, the paired Christmas videos are coming out. Better not have to wait until Three Kings Day for that bloopers video!
