Christmas Eve 2009

This year we celebrated Christmas Eve with mommy's family in Chino Hills. We had family fly in from Washington, Arizona, San Jose and Sacramento. It works out well because mommy's family parties on the eve whereas daddy's family parties on Christmas Day. The family has gotten so huge that we all pretty much stand the entire night or sit on the floor. I didn't mind it because everyone (maybe about 50 people) took turns holding me!!

We played L-C-R which lasted forever! 33 people were spread out on the floor from the living room to the dining room making a pot of $99! It was intense. It is also tradition to throw dollar bills from the second floor and have the kids catch what they can from the first floor. Daddy caught $17 (I guess white man can jump! haha) and mommy got $11...not bad for a little lady. Ninong Johnny also gave me what he caught making my piggy bank happy and full. =)

I look forward to next year where I can run around with the rest of the kids. Watch out kids!!
