Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2008

This year was the Whetten Family Christmas and the family decided to rent a vacation home in Gilbert and have all the family come and stay there. It was nice to be close to home because I got sick again... Man, this cold season is rough. I've had a cough for a month now and cannot shake it off. Any ideas? I should just go to the doctor, but I'm lazy. Anyways, one of the perks of this house was the theater room. I never really saw the point of having a theater room, but now that I've experienced one, I want one so bad... Someday it will be mine... hahaha... in my dreams...

We had a great Christmas and Emi still didn't get it, but it was definitely fun watching her copy all her cousins opening presents.

Emi playing with her cousins, they were all so cute together.

The glorious little tricycle that she will not get off from. :)


Then we went to the park and fed the ducks and rode some rides.


For New Year's Eve, my Grandma, Auntie and Uncle were here in Phoenix from Maui, so we went to my cousin's house and celebrated with them. It was good to see them again and eat good local food. Emi also enjoyed playing with her cousins, Keely and Ryen too.

Here's all the Minami girls there. I told you that's all we have (girls), no boys or very little.


and finally the cousins.


Happy New Year to you all!
