A Special Christmas Present

Baby girl's name was given to each family on an ornament for Christmas with a description of the meaning.  Of course I got one for our tree too!


Raya as a girl's name is pronounced RYE-ah. It is of Hebrew origin, and the meaning of Raya is "friend".  Raya Island is also the name of the island off the coast of Phuket, Thailand that Tim and Lynn spent a beautiful 5 days in January 2011 for thier one year anniversary.

Grace as a girl's name is pronounced grayce. It is of Latin origin, and the meaning of Grace is "favor; blessing". Lynn grandmothers name was Grace and she cherishes the memories of her.  Tim and Lynn will be lodging on Grace Bay in Turks and Caicos for thier babymoon.

Altbaum is Tim's family surname pronounced Alt-balm. It is of German and Jewish origin, Alt meaning "old" and Baum meaning "tree".

We dont think her name could have a more perfect meaning to us!
