From Diego to the Bay

Without a doubt, I am spoiled. I had such a wonderful first Christmas with so many of my family members! Mom and Dad were worried that I was going to be a beast for the long 6 hour car ride from San Diego to Los Banos so they decided to start the drive at night when I would normally go to bed. Overall, I did pretty good and slept most of the way. I think I would have been really cranky if we had driven during the day.

I arrived at my kapuna and Vovo's house abour 2 am on Wednesday morning. I had lots of fun visiting. I love when Vovo sings to me. Too bad mommy's singing is so ugly! I spent my first Christmas Eve with lots of family. I was a trooper and was still in a good mood even though I didn't really nap so well the whole time I was gone from my house.




I wasn't sure if I was allowed to rip stuff open so I had to look at Dad and make sure I wasn't going to get into trouble.



Checking out my cool new boots!



Me and my great-grandma, Tutu




This sparkly light up thing on Grandpa Keith's neck was SOO rad!



My Vovo, Me, and Mommy




I was thinking of this funny joke when I took this picture with Dad, Mom, Vovo, and kapuna.

I got lots of nice things....clothes, gift cards, and a really cool stand and learn musical table. I loved pushing all the buttons while holding myself up and playing by myself! Christmas morning, I was off to visit Mema's side of the family in Discovery Bay, another 1 hr 15 minute car ride.


Here I am with aunts and cousins and mema and mommy



The bows were so pretty!



Especially when they were on my head!



I was certainly a good sport about it!

After dinner in Discovery Bay, we drove to San Jose to Mema and Grandpa Rai's house. I was pretty exhausted but managed to stay up to open MORE presents including ANOTHER music table (grandparents were thinking alike on this one!), and lots of hip clothes. I will definitely be the best dressed Hummingbird at school! I finally went to sleep, in another new house so unfortunately my bad sleeping continued. =(



The baby Santa hat that Grandpa Rai got was so small for my big head. His fit me better. Poor drooly me with a runny nose. =(



Mema didn't get the memo that there was something really cool up there that she was supposed to look at!

Late Saturday night, we were headed home to San Diego. I slept the whole way home. I woke up once we got home and got really excited when I saw that I was home in my own room again. As if three Christmases weren't enough, I finally had #4 at home. Being 2009, we used my favorite Skype technology so Popo, Gong gong, and my Lui uncles could see me open my presents. More toys. More clothes. I am sooooo spoiled!




Now I get to spend the rest of the week chillin' at home with mommy. I am so glad I get to sleep in and miss school this week, especially because my first tooth has started coming in and it has been bothering me. =( I'll have mommy take a picture once you can see it! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
