The fam getting ready to surprise Kourtney for her birthday!

I love my friends & family

This is difficult for me to write, but we really need your help. My cousin, Cici, has been battling cancer for 17 years. She’s been going through chemo for such a long time, but now the cancer is not responding to the chemo and she needs a bone marrow stem cell transplant. This necessary procedure would hopefully give our Cici many more years to live!

What makes this more difficult is that the donor must be of Armenian descent because Cici is Armenian. We are asking every Armenian who reads this message to reach out to the bone marrow registry and sign up so that we can find a match for Cici.

Donating bone marrow is actually not as scary as it sounds. Before Cici told me all about it, I thought it was this really intense procedure, but it’s really not. There are two ways to donate and your doctor will decide which is the best method for you. The PBSC donation is nonsurgical and is basically like giving blood. You can read about this procedure here. Then there’s the marrow donation procedure, which takes place in an operating room at a hospital where a general anesthesia or regional anesthesia is administered. You lay on your stomach and the doctor makes a tiny incision (less than a quarter of an inch) through the skin at the back of the pelvic bone then the doctor inserts a needle and draws out the marrow. There is absolutely no pain during the procedure and most people go home that same afternoon.

Please help our family’s plea by signing up and pray that we all can save Cici’s life!

Here is the link where you can register to be a donor as well as find out more information about the procedure.

Thank you guys!!! Please keep Cici in your prayers. Xo

I found these pics of the family on Thanksgiving.

This was my first time seeing Lamar play for The Clippers! It was funny how everyone made a big deal about Bruce and my mom not sitting together, saying it was fueling these ridiculous divorce rumors. Well I got four court-side seats, so Kanye and I obviously sat in two of them and then we wanted Khloe up front too, since it’s her husband playing, and the mom joined us too. My mom got eight other seats right behind us for the family, where Bruce sat with everyone else. I started to feel a little ill (I caught the flu over the Christmas holidays!) so Kanye and I left at half time and Bruce came to the front and sat with my mom. It’s a simple as that! Not everything is as dramatic as the media make it out to be!

We had the best family Christmas ever!

Here are a few pics from Christmas Eve with the family. I wanted to have a private low-key Christmas with our family and friends, but Instagram and Twitter make that hard. Seems everyone posts pics. So I’ve decided to go ahead and post a few. The family had a really amazing Christmas and I hope you all did too. Xo

The end of the year is always a time for me to reflect on the things I’ve achieved, people I’ve met, decisions I’ve made, and to start making goals for the new year ahead.

This year has been an absolutely incredible one, and for the next 10 days I’m going to be counting down my 10 best moments of 2012, starting today with our amazing family trip to The Dominican Republic. I treasure our family vacations and this year’s was one of the best yet! See all my vacation snaps in the gallery.

What has been the highlight of your year? Let me know in the comments! Xo

We had such a fun time together at our Christmas card shoot this year! Here are some behind the scenes pics from our shoot.

As you guys know, every year we have a special family photo shoot to shoot our annual Christmas card. This has been a family tradition of ours since we were kids and it’s always a lot of fun to get the whole family together and get glammed up for the shoot.

Here’s a look back at our family Christmas cards through the years… enjoy!

You can see this year’s Christmas card here! Xo

Here’s a closer look at our 2012 family Christmas Card, shot by photographer Nick Saglimbeni.

This year we went for a Christmassy all white wardrobe! I’m wearing a gorgeous dress by Jitrois.

This is Penelope‘s Christmas card debut… doesn’t she look so beautiful!?

What do you guys think of the card this year? Xo

The whole family went to The Dominican Republic… you would have seen our trip on the show a few episodes back. I was going through my camera and found a ton of pics from our vacation!!

We had the most amazing time! Probably my favorite family vacation yet. Even Kendall and Kylie‘s BFF’s Maddie and Spencer came to join in on the fun! Lots more pics coming over the next couple of weeks so stay tuned!! Xo

Father’s Day is always bitter sweet. Of course every year that goes by I miss my dad, but I am so blessed to have had two incredible dads. Thank you Bruce for always being there for me!

To all the fathers out there, Happy Father’s Day!! Xo

Every year I really look forward to our annual Christmas card family photo shoot! It’s a family tradition that we have done since we were kids and it’s one of my favorite traditions our family has!

I love looking back at our old Christmas cards… seeing how everyone has changed and how our family has grown as the years have gone by. I feel blessed to have so many amazing Christmas memories with my family!! Do you guys have any family holiday traditions?

How cute is this!? I found this old pic of Kendall and Kylie dressed up in prom-style dresses when they were little and it reminded me of the pics from their Sherri Hill prom dress shoot! How time flies!! Check out the side by side pic in the gallery!

Have a great Sunday everyone, and don’t forget to watch an all new episode of Kourtney and Kim Take New York tonight at 10/9c on E! Xo

We are just finalizing our 2011 Christmas card with photographer, Nick Saglimbeni, but I wanted to show you this cool virtual silhouette shot that Nick put together!

Hi dolls. I just want to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving. I’m really looking forward to spending this day with my family… relaxing, eating, sharing memories and creating new ones. There’s nothing I love more than having the family together. Sending my love and kisses to you all this Thanksgiving! Xo

I just found these cute pics of me, Kourt and Mason in New York! Mason is so cute! He is growing up so fast and getting so big! I just want to spend every second with him before he grows up!

Here we are being silly!

Sharing a kiss with Kris in beautiful Bora Bora! Makes me smile looking at these pics!

See more of my Bora Bora family vacation pics here!

We all got together at my mom’s house for a fun family dinner. Nothing like some quality family time!

It’s a tradition in our family that we all get a new set of pajamas on Christmas Eve. This year we got striped pajamas and we all looked like elves… or maybe Waldo! LOL

The boys wore green stripes and the girls wore red!

Do you guys have any family traditions?

If you missed my pics from Mom’s annual Christmas Eve party you can see those here.

Here are some pics from Thanksgiving at my mom and Bruce‘s house! I am so thankful for my amazing family! We had a great time
I’m so glad Lamar was able to take a break from his hectic basketball schedule to join us. Even Gunnar came! He is my trainer and a good family friend, so it kind of made me feel bad for eating so much! LOL

How cute does my grandma MJ look? As you can see, Mason was not really feeling me that day, LOL.

Another amazing Thanksgiving with my wonderful family. I hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable Thanksgiving! I’m so thankful for you all.

Every morning we try to have breakfast as a family! Here’s Kourtney, Scott and I outside on our balcony!

I love these Belle Noel door knocker earrings… kind of obsessed!

Look at this family photo from 1988. This is so funny! Kinda shows all of our personalities back then!

Brody turns 26 today!! Happy birthday Brody! I hope you’re feeling better!

Every year my dad’s brother Tom and his sister Barbara get together at
my cousin’s house and we make my Nana’s traditional beeshee breakfast!

All my cousin’s go there with their kids. It’s a lot of fun catching up
with everyone.

As you can see, a lot of my dad’s side of the family are
blonde… So, again, that’s where Khloe gets her coloring from!

Did you go to more than one holiday family celebration this year?

As I spent the weekend in New Orleans and as I was getting all my tickets together for the game I realized I had some extra tickets. I called the family that my family met while filming Keeping Up with the Kardashians in New Orleans. They were on our finale episode for season 2.

I invited them to the game and they were beyond excited! Marissa, the daughter, had never been to a Saints game before and her brothers Aaron and Sydney got to meet some players after the game. They all were enjoying it so much!

They honestly are the nicest people and it was so good to see them again. Next time I go to New Orleans I’m going to check out their house. Since we filmed and saw they were living in a FEMA trailer, their house has been fixed following damage from Hurricane Katrina. It is just one week away from completion and then the furniture we got them will be delivered in the next few weeks!

They still live in the FEMA trailer, but hopefully by Christmas they will be moved into their home again. I couldn’t imagine living with four people in a one-bedroom FEMA trailer! Their spirits are so positive and they taught me and my family so much!

This Sunday the Saints played the Atlanta Falcons and they won! This game was very different than any other…

I met a very special boy named Micah. He is 11 years old.

I saw the cutest little boy walking into the suite box next to mine and he had a “Bush” jersey on. I told him I liked his jersey and when he turned around I noticed he had a breathing mask on. He was very quiet and seemed exhausted.

I went to the restroom and his mother Val followed me in and asked me if I would take a picture with her son. She explained he had two weeks to live and was dying of cancer. When she left I literally cried in the bathroom and got myself together and went to go take a picture with him. His mother told me that Micah had a 109 temperature that morning but he still wanted to go see Reggie play!

My heart truly was breaking just seeing how sweet this little boy was… I had to do more.

Hornets basketball player and one of Reggie’s best friends Chris Paul was sitting next door in our box so I took Micah over to meet him. He was so excited. Then after the game I took Micah and his whole family with me down to the family section where only the family waits near the locker room for the players to come out to meet Reggie!

Reggie spent some time with him and Micah lit up! I know him meeting Reggie won’t ever change what he and his family is going through, but for those brief moments hopefully he could forget he was sick.

I know Reggie and I will never forget Micah.

This old school pic is of me and my grandmother. We always called her “Nana.” She is my Dad’s mother and her real name is Helen Kardashian.

She passed away earlier this year…

Once my father passed away, she was never the same. She had three children, my aunt Barbara, my uncle Tommy then the baby of the bunch… my dad!

My grandmother is full Armenian. It’s actually very typical to have blond hair and light eyes being full Armenian. This is where Khloe gets her coloring from, in case you have been wondering.

Nana was seriously so much fun! She lived right near my parents growing up and also had a house in Palm Springs that we always spent so much time at.

She was your typical Armenian grandmother: always cooking the best Armenian meals, our favorite which was this Armenian breakfast called “beeshe”! I’m not sure if that’s even how you spell it but it’s basically a fried pancake with lots of sugar on top!

She passed along the recipe but Kourtney is the only one in our entire Kardashian family who has mastered it. So every year in December my dad’s side of the family gets together and Kourtney makes it for us all!

I miss my Nana so much!

During our first dinner in Monte Carlo, I discovered some new and interesting information about myself!

Being with my grandmother, we all were talking about my grandmother’s love life. Come to find out that my mom’s real father passed away in a car crash before we were born.

So Kourtney and I found out that my grandfather that we always called “papa” was really our step grandpa. He was married to my Grandma MJ for more than 30 years before he recently passed away.

He was German and Irish, so I always thought that I was half Armenian and quarter German and a quarter Irish!

But as we were digging down into our history we realized that on my mom’s side, she is Scottish and Dutch… So it turns out I am half Armenian (a quarter Turkish and a quarter Russian) and a quarter Scottish and a quarter Dutch!

Have you ever discovered important information about yourself that you could have never predicted? Let me know in the comments area!

If you want to know more about my thoughts on being half Armenian click here!

I want to wish my mom a very Happy Mother’s Day! I love you, mom!

My whole family is cooking her our favorite Armenian breakfast called BeeShee (it’s basically like a fried pancake).

Then my mom, Bruce, Kendall and Kylie are going to see the play Wicked. We are all so jealous! They couldn’t get any more tickets for the rest of us.

I also want to wish both of my grandmother’s a happy Mother’s Day, too!

In fact, all mothers definitely deserve the day off to rest and relax!

Now that my mom is a bonafide star on our reality show, it got me wondering… Who is your favorite TV mom? Let me know in the comments area!

I know I am a little late to post this one… You’ll have to forgive me — I have been super busy!

My whole family, Reggie and I had the best Easter Sunday. We started off going to church at Calvary Christian Church in Thousand Oaks, California, and ended up at Sherwood Country Club for brunch and an Easter egg hunt for my little sisters.

Rob, Scott and Reggie
were acting silly during brunch and we girls got to spend some quality
time with my grandma… But can’t call her ‘grandma.’ It’s M.J. for ‘Mary Jo.’
