Christmas

Christmas morning was very exciting as the girls rushed to see what Santa has bought this year!  There was a slide with a picture of their new playset (to be made by daddy dear) and two big sacks with their names on them.   Dad, mom, Mark and Racheal joined us for brunch and got right to work on the play set.

Christmas Eve

This holiday season was extra festive with my family in town.  Mom, Angel, Christine and Christian were able to celebrate with us.  We hosted Christmas Eve at our place and Roger cooked a big meal of lobster tails and prime rib.  Dad made his duck and it was so tasty Emma asked for seconds.   The kiddos were extra excited about the presents - there were a lot to open!!   Even Hoku got into the festivities with a reindeer outfit from Mark.

Holiday Shows

This year we went to two holiday shows. One at Woodside High School for the 'twas the Night Before Christmas and the Nutcracker by the Silicon Valley Ballet in San Jose.  Both were wonderful but I have to say that I liked the Nutcracker a bit more.

Holiday Tea

We started the tradition of holiday tea 3 years ago and this year we continue the tradition with Noe and Elayna at Crown and Crumpet.  It's a cute tea place in Japantown.  The girls dressed up as Cinderella this year and were having such a great time they posed for photos after.
