We spent Christmas in San Jose, mainly with the Garcia side of the family. We stayed at Mark's brother's house and the whole immediate Garcia family was present. It was nice for the cousins to play and bond and to have a complete family Christmas photo.
Mira had a blast. It was so nice to see her really get into Christmas this year and interact so well with her cousins.
Christmas Eve the kids made a gingerbread man with grandmama in preparation for Santa's visit.
That evening we drove up to San Bruno for a late post-mass Christmas Eve Dinner at Uncle Dindo/Tita Emy's house. Santa showed up right at midnight!
Cousins (left to right) Jordyn, Zach and Mira LOVED Santa's visit, but I think they figured out it was Grandpapa Oids... :)
The next day (Christmas Day) Mark's sister and family, Nicole, Jason and baby Helena joined us to celebrate Jesus' birthday, exchange presents and open presents from Santa.
Grandmama and Grandpapa bought all the grandkids Laker outfits for the basketball season!

The day after Christmas, we drove to Christine's (Mark's cousin) house in Brentwood. Mira was in awe when she first saw Angelina in her Rapunzel dress and was giddy when Angelina offered to let Mira borrow her Ariel dress. They were practically best 'princess' buddies for the rest of the night!
Hope everyone also had a safe and wonderful holiday!!
