Christmas!

Sorry for the overload of pics, but everyone wants to see Juni with what they got her, right??!!? And, she is awfully darn cute! :) We started opening presents the night before Christmas Eve, just one each :) and then a few Christmas Eve and took our time Christmas day. We took time to stop and play along the way and just enjoy our family time. Christmas evening we went to "Christmas Tree Lane," a well decorated block in Alameda, and walked up and down with Juni letting her enjoy the decorations at each and every house. Her favorite was a machine the blew out piles of bubbles to look like it was snowing.
