Here are most of us girls in the kitchen. From left to right, Janai, Patty, Som and me. We all worked together to get everything ready. This included rolling the Pillsbury Crescent rolls that we seriously had some issues figuring out. Some appetizers that Jennie made which was so yummy and a tossed green salad. My mom made her famous pink potato salad that everyone always looks forward to having. And some steamed baby asparagus and string green beans.
Mylee is just so happy today! Yay! I think this is one of my favorite photos of her! Think I gotta blow it up and put up in the house and my office at work. Too cute!
Our family photo in front of the tree, but it's so small this year we totally covered it. Mylee wasn't cooperating for this one so this was the best we could do. Oh vell.
Ngoai's celebrating Mylee's 1st Christmas Eve. with her.
Mylee actually really happy with Uncle Binh, she doesn't see him often and Mylee has not been too keen of strangers but she's actually doing pretty well.
The Grandpa's and Mylee. She's been so good for all the photos tonight so we're taking full advantage of it since our blog seems to be mostly of big sis Makayla. Mylee says it's her turn in the spotlight.
All the cousins together outside testing out the new heat lamps that Ngoai's got us since we entertain all the time. They are awesome but it was a little bit of a rainy night.
Some of the Sassone kids. Ryan's cousins came to help us celebrate too. It's always so good to see them since we don't get to all the time. Chelsea has gone away to college in Hawaii this year so at least we got to see her for the holidays. Their family is just too cute!
Here's our tree still overflowing with presents even though we did secret Santa with the family. It was a great idea but I think having two girls really piles up the gifts from all our friends and family. We are just too loved!
We let the girls open up a few presents since they had so many for Christmas morning and Santa didn't even come yet. This is Mylee's 1st present. It was from Auntie 9 and a super cute giant pink puppy dog.
This was the girls favorite gift from Grandma Jennie. I don't think they're going to love the vacuum cleaner when they're older but they sure are having a ball with it tonight.
My brother Binh was Ryan's secret Santa and got him this really funny shirt. You can't tell from the photo but it's got floral design on it and we think it's suppose to be the new in look but it was so not Ryan. Everyone kept on making fun of him and saying he looked like a Philopino singer since they like to wear shirts like this. Too funny!
Everyone gathered to sing Christmas carols. Makayla was really into it this year and her favorite from school was Away in a Manger. She also loved the classics, Jingle Bells, Frosty, Rudolph and Santa Claus is coming to town. They all had so much fun singing. Theodore was hands down the most vocal! What a fun night with all the fam! So blessed to all be able to be together!
