Family Day

Geoff had some time off during the boys' break as well, so we headed to Santa Cruz. We went miniature golfing at the Boardwalk, then headed to Natural Bridges for some tide pool exploring.

I loved how Cole was holding Geoff's hand and Tyler had his arm around Cole.

Christmas 2009

We had a very nice Christmas with both sides of the family. We do a lot of family hopping on Christmas. We opened some presents at home in the morning. Even Milo got some presents. Here he is holding everything from his stocking in his mouth at once!

Next we went to my parents' house for breakfast.

And then to Geoff's parents' for brunch.

Love Tyler's expression here...

and here!

My little techies.

We went back to my parents' house that evening for Christmas dinner with the Masuda side of the family.

Can you tell that Cole loves to play video games?!

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve at Keri and Dean's (Geoff's sister and family). This time my parents and Miki came as well. Dean is a fabulous cook, so it's always a treat to have a meal there!

Jesus' Birthday cake!

Listening to some Christmas stories.

Gingerbread House Party

We had some friends over to have a Gingerbread House making party.

Despite the lack of smile, the boys were thrilled with their house!

After decorating the kids watched some Christmas shows and some of the older kids even read Christmas books to the younger kids. Then, it was time for Rock Band!

Pajama Day

The day before break, Cole's class had Pajama Day. They all went to school in their pajamas and got to have hot chocolate for snack while listening to the Polar Express on tape.

It was "Miki Night" that night!
She's actually carrying both boys in this picture!

Kindergarten Christmas Performance

The Kindergarten classes put on a Christmas Performance. They all looked so adorable!

Here Tyler is singing the Hanukkah song. His main part was ringing the bells and singing Jingle Bells!

Tyler was proud to have his grandparents come watch.

Tivo Family Christmas Party

Tivo had a family Christmas party this year. The kids got to take a picture with Santa and decorate Tivo shaped cookies. They even got a Tivo bear.

Sorry for the low quality picture. I had to take a picture of the picture.

Los Gatos Christmas Parade

Every year our preschool puts on a pre-parade breakfast, then we all go downtown to watch the Christmas parade.

Cole lasted about 30 minutes or so.
Tyler stayed until almost the end!
