Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! Here are some pics of my Christmas happenings. This photo has my dad's side of the family in front of my Grandma's house in Goleta. My uncle Peter and cousins Luke and Rachel couldn't make it down though :( In other news, my cousin Rylee and her husband, Phil are going to be having a baby this summer! I'm really happy for them, and I know they will be good parents :)

Kenny is getting goofy so that Madelyn will smile.

Hahaha!
We drove down to my mom's cousin, Kathy, and her husband, Daniel's house in Rancho Santa Margarita to have Christmas with the family on my mom's side. This is a house in their neighborhood who apparently went all out decorating. Kathy said the other neighbors get even crazier--I can't even imagine!

It's fun watching the kids open presents! Guilia and her mom, Mikela

Lauren.
These are two of Kathy's kids, Randy and Garrett. Their younger brother is Carter who is in some of the other photos. They remind me SO much of how Daniel, Mikey and I used to be when we were younger.

This baby doll was almost too real--it's the kind of doll that is up walking around the house while you are sleeping. Creepy!

This is Carter:

Garrett wrote and preformed a puppet show for his mom for Christmas. It was SUPER cute! Randy and Daniel helped act out the other parts. 

I set up this family photo at our neighbor's persimmon orchard. The trees looked really cool with all of the bright orange fruit on them. 
We tried this one a few times, but it was really hard to time it with the blinking light on the camera. It would have been cool if someone was pushing the shutter. 

I hope you had a nice Christmas as well :)
