NFL player Ryan Kelly and his wife Emma are celebrating a very special Christmas!

美国国家橄榄球联盟球员莱恩·凯利和他的妻子艾玛正在庆祝一个非常特别的圣诞节!

The couple is enjoying the holiday with twin sons Duke Thomas and Ford Patrick, 6 months, for the first time, and Emma tells PEOPLE they could not be more thrilled.

这对夫妇第一次和六个月大的双胞胎儿子杜克·托马斯和福特·帕特里克一起享受假期，艾玛告诉《人物》杂志，他们太激动了。

"Last Christmas we wished for a baby more than anything, and this year we’re holding two! Christmas the last two years has been so heartbreaking, considering we lost MK just days before it," she says, referring to the death of daughter Mary Kate 19 weeks into her pregnancy. "Having the boys here now has brought back so much joy and magic in the holidays for Ryan and I. We couldn’t be more thankful."

“去年圣诞节我们最希望的就是有个孩子，今年我们有两个了!”“过去两年的圣诞节太令人心碎了，考虑到我们在圣诞节前几天失去了MK，”她说，指的是女儿玛丽凯特在怀孕19周时去世。“现在孩子们来到这里，给瑞安和我的节日带来了如此多的欢乐和魔力。我们感激不尽。”

"Since Ryan and I were born, coincidentally, both our parents started this tradition of buying us an ornament that represented the biggest or their favorite milestone of ours that year. And they wrote a note inside the box describing the milestone or story behind the ornament they chose for us that year," Emma continues. "For example, this year will be 'Baby’s first Christmas,' and we will write about what miracles our boys are, and how much they overcame — fighting for their lives in the NICU for their first three months."

“巧合的是，自从瑞安和我出生以来，我们的父母就开始给我们买一个代表我们那一年最大或他们最喜欢的里程碑的装饰品。他们在盒子里写了一张纸条，描述了当年他们为我们选择的装饰品背后的里程碑或故事，”艾玛继续说道。“例如，今年将是‘宝宝的第一个圣诞节’，我们将写我们的孩子们是多么的奇迹，以及他们在新生儿重症监护室(NICU)出生的头三个月里是如何克服困难，与生命作斗争的。”

"That way," she adds, "even long after Ryan and I are gone, our boys will always be reminded of our love and pride for them, especially around Christmas."

“这样，”她补充道，“即使在瑞安和我离开很久之后，我们的孩子们也会永远想起我们对他们的爱和骄傲，尤其是在圣诞节前后。”

Back in October, Emma brought the twins to cheer on their dad at their first-ever Indianapolis Colts game.

早在10月份，艾玛就带着这对双胞胎在印第安纳波利斯小马队的第一场比赛中为他们的父亲加油。

"We prayed so long and so hard for days like yesterday.If you would have told me this time a year ago, we’d be standing where we are today, I’m not sure I could have believed you. THANK YOU, GOD are the only words I can seem to find lately," she wrote alongside photos from the day on Instagram.

“就像昨天一样，我们祈祷了那么长时间，那么努力。如果你一年前的这个时候告诉我，我们就会站在今天的位置，我不确定我是否会相信你。谢谢你，上帝是我最近唯一能找到的词，”她在Instagram上的照片旁边写道。

"Thank you for never giving up on us and I’m so glad Ryan and I never gave up either. Every storm has lead us to this beautiful beginning and I’ll never get over it. Thank you to all our people who weathered it all by our sides and to this community for keeping us encouraged when we felt we had nothing left."

“谢谢你从未放弃我们，我很高兴瑞安和我也从未放弃。每一场风暴都把我们带到了这个美好的开始，我永远不会忘记它。感谢所有在我们身边度过这一切的人，感谢这个社区在我们感到一无所有的时候给我们鼓励。”

The couple revealed arrival of their baby boys exclusively to PEOPLE in October.

去年10月，这对夫妇向《人物》杂志独家透露了他们的儿子的到来。

"After 85 days in the NICU and living in a rental home, we are finally reunited as a family," Emma said in an exclusive statement.

艾玛在一份独家声明中说:“在新生儿重症监护室住了85天后，我们终于作为一个家庭团聚了。”

"I still can't totally believe we are finally home as a family of four, but every time we see one of the boys, we are thankful for the journey that got them here," she added.

她补充说:“我仍然不能完全相信我们一家四口终于回家了，但每次我们看到其中一个男孩，我们都很感激把他们带到这里的旅程。”

The couple's miracle babies come after a nearly two-year-long journey that included fertility struggles and in vitro fertilization.

这对夫妇经历了近两年的生育斗争和体外受精，终于迎来了奇迹宝宝。
