so i went to la with my sister and dad and dog. it was a very fun trip. we saw family, santa, about a billion presents, the mall, and we ate about a billion HOMEADE tamales. that's right people.
walking in a winter wonderland
went to south coast plaza where the palm trees are tall
and the sky is blue.
pretty in nordstrom
holiday decor
HOW DOES IT KNOW?!?!?
looks more like a church then a mall...
we saw big bags
my little cousin pulls the ultimate picture
prank on my sister
my other cousin opens wide
her pants
my wrapper
the chair
then we went to dinner for christmas eve. i wore this cte
but VERY FLIPPING HIGH HEELS
i didn't know what to do with myself
so i took this gorgeous pic of hannah
who returned the favor
aww
then before midnight mass we drove around to see lights..
every house looked like that. no joke.
where is orinda's spirit. when i grow up, i will have the most lights
on my house for miles. FOR EFFING MILES.
the reindeer are sooo cooool! they fly! yess
my favorite street in whittier
then after midnight mass... at about 2 in the morning...we all go back to my
grandparents for presents and santa. there were about 100 presents under
that 13 foot tree.
one.hun.dred.pres.ents.
my little cousin slept waiting for santa
then ho ho ho merry christmas. ok so here's the deal. every year
we have a family member be santa
my aunt made the costume... and my littlest cousins still think it
really is santa. its the cutest thing i've ever seen
so that santa is actually my 17 yearold cousin andrew... but shhh
don't spoil it for the little ones... that, my friends, is possibly
the best tradition my family holds...for everyyear we have a santa.
anyway, back to the pictures..
so little 90 pound hannah sits on santa's lap
followed by my 306 pound cousin michael. HAHAHAHAHAHA
p.s. that is no joke.
so that's it. very good trip. then we are about to come home on sunday morning
when what happens? MY FIRST CAR ACCIDENT EVER.
we are the white car. the white smashed totalled car.
haha what a way to end a great vacation.
bah.
