Because my dad just might disown me if I don't update...

I got a phone call from my dad a couple of days ago and it wasn't pretty. I knew I hadn't updated my blog in over a week but I had no idea my family would be getting all huffy about it :)
So anyway, this is for you dad! I have a lot of pictures from the month of December but we'll just start with Christmas Eve...
Gabby got a new baby doll that she absolutely adores. She wouldn't stop hugging, kissing, and singing to her.
Mom did great with Nguyen's gifts too which is really saying something. He isn't the easiest person to shop for!
I attempted a group shot with Nguyen's parents and the kids...

We had a really mellow holiday this year. Nguyen's parents as well as my mom and her boyfriend came over to eat some yummy Cioppino with us for Christmas Eve. After we were good and stuffed, we let the kids open up gifts from G-ma. They were pretty happy about that.

I attempted a group shot with Nguyen's parents and the kids...it turned out awesome.
A new tea set for the princess!
Cameron was in awe when he opened up this HUGE stuffed puppy dog. He LOVES stuffed animals and very rarely leaves home without one of his "babies."

Cameron was in awe when he opened up this HUGE stuffed puppy dog. He LOVES stuffed animals and very rarely leaves home without one of his "babies." He named this guy Simon and sleeps with him every night.
Later that night, we made sure to leave some reindeer food outside. I told Cameron to sprinkle it along the sidewalk but he opted for the "dump out" method instead.
"Do you think they'll smell it?"
We couldn't forget to leave out some cookies and milk for Santa, but first I wanted to get a cute pic of the kids in front of the fireplace.

We couldn't forget to leave out some cookies and milk for Santa, but first I wanted to get a cute pic of the kids in front of the fireplace. You can see how well that turned out...
So I said "forget it" and we went with a nice pic of Cam instead.
"Here Mom!"
The kids (and Nguyen) went to sleep fairly early that night while one lonely elf prepared for the big day. That elf was so tired and not feeling very well AT ALL after all was said and done around 1:30am. But the kids were happy and ECSTATIC to see that Santa had been in our house and even left some snowy footprints all over our living room floor so it was totally worth it!
"Wait...are those cookies?"

Gabby actually slept in a bit that morning and Cameron was eager to start tearing through his gifts so we gave him the go ahead.
Do you think he likes legos?
Gabby finally joined us about twenty minutes later and was in a state of confusion at the sight of Cameron in all of his giddy glory.
But eventually, she snapped out of it. She knew what she needed to do.
Like eat some paper.
Eventually, Cameron was so hyper, he couldn't control himself.

Eventually, Cameron was so hyper, he couldn't control himself. He was high on Christmas spirit!
This was taken later that evening, but as you can see, the spirit hadn't yet worn off.
Gabby decided she was going to calm him down.
But her plan didn't work so well...
That's all I have from Christmas Eve and Christmas day but I PROMISE I will update more about the happenings in December later this week!

I haven't opened my laptop since Christmas day which is downright unheard of for me! But seriously, more soon...
We hope you all had a Merry Christmas!!
