Christmas 2002

We went to my Uncle Cornell's house on Christmas Eve. We got to open up presents. Then we stayed home on Christmas Day, and went to Lake Tahoe the next day. Here are some pictures:

This Josh and Noah, my cousin. Noah has chocolate in his mouth, and that's why he looks like Sandy from SpongeBob SquarePants.

Here are all of my cousins. From left, Joshua, Melina, me, Kayla, Noah, Alyssa, Maia, and Patrick. Kayla and Maia are Uncle Cornell's and Aunt Catherine's daughters. Noah, Alyssa, and Patrick are Auntie Arlene's and Uncle Jeff's kids.

We had fun opening up a lot of presents. See Melina at the bottom, really busy with her toy.

Here are all of us with my Lola and Lolo.

Here we are again. This time, the entire Mallari family is here. Auntie Daisy made it from Oregon (she's sitting down with Alyssa).

Lola and Lolo went to Thailand, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and brought back some neat clothes. We got to try them on.

On Christmas day, we opened up the presents we got from Santa and Mom and Dad. Melina got a playhouse and I got this neat car set. Josh got Sims Unleashed, which he really wanted.

On the day after Christmas, we all went to the snow. We didn't spend a lot of time there, but all of us got to go snow tubing. There's me on the left (see Dad way up the hill?). And Mom on the right.

Here's Mom and Melina. Melina didn't know what to think of the cold air, but she was OK. Josh and I started making a snowman, but it started to get dark, so we got back in the van and drove to Lake Tahoe.

Uncle Jason got to try the slot machine. On the right, Melina got a really cute outfit for Christmas.

Before Uncle Jason left, Mom asked him what he wanted to do, and he said he wanted to visit Uncle Jeff's house. So we drove to Livermore and had a good time. Here's our family and Uncle Jeff's. From left, Lacey, me, Joshua, Melina, Kelsey, Uncle Jason, Mom, Aunt Dee, and Uncle Jeff (Dad is taking the picture).
