Merry Christmas Traditions

This was one of the nicest Christmas seasons, I am happy to say. Every year, we do a few of the same things.

When the kids are off from school, my mom takes us to a special lunch. This year we went to San Jose, to Santana Row, and ate Maggiano's.

On Christmas Eve, we bake cookies to leave out for Santa .


In the evening, my parents come over and we order tons of Chinese Food. Then, it is present opening time!

Opa - my dad - and Nick waiting for the Chinese food to come.



Amber loves her new jacket!


On Christmas morning, we celebrate with Michael's family. After a big breakfast, we open presents. Then we all hang out, watch a movie, and enjoy each other's company.

Maggie, cousin Travis and Karina...Travis is riding his new toy horse.





Karina and her aunties. I can remember Christmases not that long ago where the aunties were taking turns holding Karina. Now she is almost as tall as them!


The day after! Here is Michael watching a DVD and eatting some of the last Christmas cookies.
I hope everyone had a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I love that picture of Nick and his Opa! Your dad looks great! I haven't seen him quite a long time, and he looks just like I did last time I saw him! I'm glad you guys had a great Christmas. :)
