Christmas 2011

Check out some photos of our family Christmas.  We opened stockings Christmas morning and then joined Ray's extended family for dinner at his aunt's house.  

Our stockings on our mantle (we have a mantle!):

Our tree (notice the little naked shadow with a hooded towel "cape" in the foreground):

Ray's gift to me (Toms shoes and a spa day!):

Train whistle (like Uncle Mitchel had!): 

Doctor's kit (actually still out from his birthday the day before...)  We knew it would be a hit because our midwife Shannon used to let him use the stethoscope and blood pressure cuff at her visits and he would sit very still and imitate everything she did (practically a miracle):

Dinosaur stickers (lasted 2 minutes, but they were happy minutes):

In a state of present overdrive after 36 hours straight of presents:


Helping the dogs open their stockings:



His "laundry" and "kitchen" (awesome consignment scores!):

A piano from Grandpa:


His wooden recycling truck (another consignment find and such a San Francisco kind of toy):

His gift from Nani (basketball hoop for the bath tub!):

The local cousins (Roscoe trying to break the nutcracker, Basi with a fake smile, Diwa thinking why am I sitting here and Luka still overwhelmed with the realization that there is a world beyond our house):
 

Sharing corn on the cob with Diwa and Auntie Marilou:

 How Luka and I spent the day (both in a state of half-sleep):

The family:
