california christmas

the day after christmas we drove to california to spend a week with my family. we had a little late christmas get together since not everyone could be there for actual christmas. sunny made a delish pork tenderloin, and we did gift exchanges, and of course our annual christmas talent show!
billy and malenas family passed around a candle and you had to say your goal for the year when the candle came to you. heres my mom saying her goal and jane looks bored
nadia got a rat for christmas. she named it gus gus. it lasted 3 days before she accidentally killed it. RIP gus gus

lilly definaely has major talents. she made up a dance to "fame" and performed it for the show. it was fantastic. i especially love that she lipped the words to the song while she danced
presents time is always fun
niya got some cute books
even though i couldn't be there on christmas day it was still fun to celebrate late!

  1. Gus-gus! Noooooooo! I am so sad she killed him. I don't think Nadia should be allowed to have pets anymore. It makes me too sad when they die.

  2. Fun that you were able to go to California and celebrate with your family. Not so fun that Gus-Gus died! Did you know Sammy's hamster's name is Gus-Gus. I don't think hers will ever die!

  3. What a great idea to have a family talent show and perform. Looks like it was a memorable and lovely holiday.
