Today was a break from 3 straight days of people and food.
I still slept at like 1 AM though.


My stuffed dalmatian, who I named Fiesta ... and there are still tons of stuffed animals in my room. Aww.

There was an overload of presents under the tree!


Bridget spent the whole morning preparing for dinner.


Lights on!


Sushi for Christmas? Why not!


Me, Daddy, Bridget.


Yum!


Which one looks better? Without blur ... with blur.


When you're bored ... take pictures of Christmas ornaments.



You can tell I like that frosty white snowflake one. I love the purple paisley one too - it's from Laura's mom!


Everyone's here! Yay for family dinners.


And an hour later ...


Cousins! Amanda, Linda, me, Jimmy.


Awww, the spirit of Christmas is in the air.

day 11: destination bay area

Photo of the day for Saturday, December 23.

I leave for the Bay Area today! Woot.
My plane was supposed to leave at 4:10 and I started packing at around 1:00 while at the same time watching the new Pride & Prejudice.


I love both versions. But I definitely think the actors in this one are better looking. Esp. Jane, Elizabeth, Miss Bingley and Mr. Bingley.


On our way to the airport ... Koffee and Kookie accompanied us.


I ♥ Koffee ... and Bob Hope Airport in Burbank.


Yay for these awesome crosswalks.


We had a family dinner at 11 PM.


Chinese food! Pork and veggies.


My cousin Jimmy.
"Smile!" I said.
"I am smiling!"


Cousin Amanda!


Got home and saw our decked-out Christmas tree!
