Christmas! (Part 1)

This year we spent Christmas with my family! It was a fun-filled week and a half, here are the highlights...

First, we had to get there...

Playing car BINGO!

The big hit were the magnets!

Deliriously happy, tired little girl. She was such a trooper and did amazing!

One day we checked out San Jose's Winter Wonderland...

Ethan couldn't pass up a quick hug with a penguin his size!

Checking out all the decorated trees with Auntie Kim!

Snuggly baby!

There were a lot of different displays to look at.

Snuggling with cousin Camdyn!

Then it was Christmas day...

All the loot!

One of Santa's helpers!

A few more of Santa's helpers.

Opening her stocking with daddy.

All the cousins!

Enjoying Auntie Kimmie snuggles!

Busy opening presents!

It's our 1st Christmas!

At night we went to have Christmas dinner with my extended family.

Emily met her great-grandpa for the first time! She's intently listening to a touching card he gave to her.

Doing our traditional white elephant exchange!

"What is all this commotion?"

Cheese! Poor Emily is in her car seat because we were literally out the door when we remembered we forgot a family picture!

All the family!

It would rain for a day or two, and then we'd get a sunny day, and then rain again, so we had to take advantage of the sunny days!

Driving his Escalade to the park! He's an amazing driver, I don't think I'll have to worry too much in 12 years!

Enjoying the fresh air.

Splashing in the puddles... getting some air!

Driving around with grandpa!

A highlight for Emily was trying out new toys because her cousin kindly shared her toys with her... she just loved the jumperoo!
