Tangerine dream! Kaia Gerber slips into a bright orange swimsuit as she soaks up the winter sun in LA

The holidays are a great time to enjoy doing the things you love doing the most.

And Kaia Gerber was making the most of the winter sunshine in Los Angeles as she slipped into a bright orange swimsuit on Thursday morning.

Soaking up the warm weather, the model, 16 looked relaxed as she gazed out into the middle-distance for an Instagram snap.

The teen beauty - whose parents are supermodel Cindy Crawford and model-turned-businessman Rande Gerber - wore her brunette locks loose in a half mini-knot.

Writing alongside the snap, Kaia told her 2.5 million followers: 'Rise and Shine.'

Proving the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, Cindy, 51, also took the opportunity to get some vitamin D.

The supermodel posted a photo of herself overlooking the family's expansive pool and the Pacific Ocean on her Instagram page.

Cindy looked happy and relaxed in jeans and a hoodie as she enjoyed her morning coffee on the terrace of the family home. 

Later Kaia flashed her toned and tanned tummy in a white cropped T-shirt and flared cut off jeans with black high top sneakers as she went out for lunch with a gal pal in Malibu. 

 The Crawford-Gerber clan, including Kaia's brother and fellow model Presley, 18, just returned from a family vacation to Colorado where they spent the holidays with members of their extended family.

Kaia's aunts Chris and Danielle made an appearance on Cindy's Instagram as they were surrounded by a winter wonderland in Steamboat Springs.

Kaia got her first modeling gig at the tender age of ten when she posed as part of the campaign for Versace's junior collection. 

Since then, the young beauty has walked for Chanel during fashion week in New York, London, Paris and Milan.

Also on her resume is Alexander Wang, Calvin Klein, Moschino, Versace and Saint Laurent. 

Cindy recently said of the family's festive traditions: 'We still do stockings on Christmas day and our family will meet us. We try to have some version of a traditional meal although turkey in a bikini feels weird!

'I always make a recipe called Monkey Bread and I try to bring it wherever we are. Our tradition is to always be together.'
