Christmas parties

It was a packed Christmas weekend, but lots of fun. Christmas Eve was in San Jose with Jay's side and Christmas Day with my side
deguzman kids after after asking them who wants to open presents...

then adult time...white elephant...we made out pretty good, speakers and a griddle... Jay had actually been wanting one for a long time :)
off to Tracy first thing Christmas morning...first my dad's side for brunch, then my mom's side for dinner, both at Melissa's house...thanks for hosting Melissa, everything was beautiful!

Jayson's favorite spot...

I can't even count how many cupcakes he had, he kept sneaking them and only ate the tops

more cousins
showoff!
Robinos side of the fam...again,who wants to open presents?

Gamo side of the family

daddy tried to beat Jayme, but not so much!

this a brave boy, stood still while daddy shot

adult time again...we did a secret santa and a themed white elephant, "as seen on tv," the funny thing is that I just had this same white elephant with co-workers and there was only one duplicate gift, but at my family's there was pretty much team "slider"

and team "perfect brownie"

at the end of the night were surprise Santa presents...the kids were so excited that Santa found them in Tracy :) they couldn't believe it and were so dramatic about it. Jayme said she wanted to cry and that she had been naughty so she didn't expect him to send her anything. Then Jaylin said, "it's because Santa gives second chances, maybe he is still outside, I think I see him on the neighbor's roof." It was so funny!

She asked Santa for a robo hamster, backstage passes to Hannah Montana, skinny jeans and a special necklace...Santa got her a special cupcake necklace, the first two request were not so easy to get :)
she loves it and has been wearing it everyday since...Jaylin got a DS jewelry game and Jayson got cars from Santa
from family and friends...everything they asked for and more. Thanks to everyone for all their special gifts, the blog would be really long if I added all the pictures of their presents :) The kids are so lucky to have you all! personalized mugs from Auntie Carrie and Uncle Marv...too darn cute, right!
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
