Emma's 1st trip to Disneyland

emma was a trooper, she only took a short nap & lasted til the very end, she went on dumbo, autopia, its a small world, buzz lightyear, saw fireworks but didn't like the loud boom sounds.

Christmas at the Hiroto's

Chirstmas morning '08

mason got very lucky this year, santa brought him a couple of nintendo ds games and an ipod nano...what happen to my santa? jordie just got some outfits from mrs.claus & her relatives; shes wearing one here. thanks auntie jeni!

Christmas Eve at Grandma & PaPa's

although in some of these picture, you can't tell if mason is happy or not but actually he's so excited about opening his presents that he was like "Yeah!" "That's so cool, man!" Jordie was just happy to be chomping on wrapping paper & bows & singing songs with auntie jeni; the rest of us were just trying to last through the night.

here are mason's friends & singing jingle bells for the holiday family festival. in the picture above is morgan, mason & sean, morgan has been in the same class with mason from the infant room to pre-school.

Thank you auntie jeni

auntie jeni sent some of emma's baby toys & jordie loves them, she especially liked the big keys, they make noise, she likes to bite on them so thank you so much, jordie's really enjoying them.

this halloween we spent trick or treating with the otanis in o.c. mason went as optimus prime & jordie as a flower. (sorry no pics; forgot camera) the next day we went to disneyland to see the halloween decor before they take them down & get ready for christmas (my favorite). as always with good company & perfect weather, we had a good time.
