Even though Mommy and I thought we would be taking one of those family photos in front of our Christmas tree, the reality is our apartment is so small that cramming a tree in it seems impractical. But Hannah should know what the Christmas spirit is all about, right? So instead of bringing a tree to Hannah, I decided to bring Hannah to the tree.
We live near the Sherman Oaks Galleria, which has quickly become our favorite walk.
Another holiday tradition? Getting all the specialty coffees at Starbucks! I normally don't drink coffee from this place much at all, but I am a total sucker for those rare Starbucks coffees that they only serve two months of the year, namely the Peppermint Mocha and Gingerbread Latte. I get as excited for these as much as some people do for the McRib sandwich. I have no idea who these people are, but apparently some people like it if they keep bringing it back! Hannah is looking forward to the day she can have one too.
Another cool thing about this walk is we get to see our good friend Kevin. He is currently working at the Galleria and has been playing a big part in Hannah's development. Not only has he offered a ton of hand-me-downs, he also recommended our current pediatrician who we absolutely love! Thanks Kev!
We celebrated Christmas at Obaasan's and Ojiisan's in the O.C. this year.
Yep, like the title says -- we had sukiyaki for Christmas Dinner. Why? Because one turkey a year is enough!
After dinner we played Cousin Juliana's and Cousin Mia's Christmas Present -- Mario Kart -- to help us digest. At least we tried to -- Uncle Paul is a Wii Hog! Remind me not to let him borrow the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
Our friends Pete and Amy came by earlier this week. This is Hannah's first celebrity meeting. As you can tell, she was starstruck!
Hannah is such a Big Bunny fangirl. She's their biggest -- and smallest -- fan!

There must have been at least a hundred people there! Who knew Margot could make so many friends in the first year of life?
Luckily there were a ton of kids there. Hannah made a lot of friends that day as wel. This party was off da' hook!
Hannah..already breaking the boys' hearts!
We spent Thanksgiving Dinner eating Chicken McNuggets and Cheeseburgers. Yep, you read that right! We have some doctors in the family and they do not usually get Thanksgiving day off, so we wanted to save our appetite for the following day's dinner, and McDonalds is the only place we knew would be open. Plus, we are really lazy.
Our official dinner. Kampai! Can you find all three kids in this picture?
Help! Our family is being overrun by girls!
Hannah was asleep for most of this celebration. We should take her to more parties!
