Christmas 2011

This Christmas we took the KanoUeva show on the road, first to L.A. (Venice) to see Koko, Momo & Jiji, and then to Phoenix to see Lola, Lolo, Tita Lisa, Uncle Dave, Jackson, Christian, Gianni, Tito Ernest, and Linsey. It was a lot of driving, but Izzy, Ethan, and Gumbo were all troopers (until the last 20 minutes of each trip, which is understandable) and we had a wonderful time with both families. Here are some highlights from the trip. As always, I took a ton of photos. Here is the entire album, if you're interested in scrolling through.
