Holiday Roundup

A little quiet family time on Christmas Eve

Bringing gifts to our neighbors. Thanks for mowing our lawn! Seriously, he mows our lawn and we never even asked him too. Our neighbors are awesome.

Not too impressed by the singing of Christmas carols by candlelight at church.


Way too many presents at Grandma R.'s house


Waiting for midnight (when we open gifts)

We sang Christmas carols too


Show me how to open presents, Auntie Christine!

SO-MANY-PRESENTS-AND-I-HAVE-TO-OPEN-THEM-ALL-AT-ONCE!!!!

Some gifts were a hit...like this cuddly puppy

..others, not so much...


Time to clean up. Trying out my Cookie Monster vacuum cleaner that goes "nyom nyom nyom nyom!"

I loved all my presents...but most fun of all was spending time with family

...like Uncle Chris...

...and Grandma...

And Ate Tobey.

I loved twirling in this dress so much I couldn't keep still long enough to take a picture

Hanging out with my cousins Tobey and Tyanna on New Year's Eve in Modesto, CA

Singing Christmas carols before our annual Luhuran that took place on New Year's Eve (Notice Lauren is not present...she couldn't keep up with the big kids and was fast asleep by this time..she missed the NYE Countdown too)

We spent the night in Modesto and had fun hanging out with family. We even had worship time. That's me peeking out from behind Ate Keilah's guitar.

Back from Modesto. I was so pooped I fell asleep before we were unpacked...I'm resting up for 2009!!!

Just like the rest of 2008, it was a busy, fun, crazy, tiring, but all-in-all wonderful Holiday Season!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
