I took Mika to the mall to see Santa the day before Thanksgiving. It was the first time for her to see a "regular" Santa in a store and not on base. I was very proud of her because she was a little nervous, but went up there anyway.
Thanksgiving lunch on the beach. It was very good.
Max took this picture in the street!
This big Buddha statue was at a restaurant close to our hotel. Mika thinks it's very pretty.
Mika and Lexie ringing the bell at "Valley of the Temples."
Our dear friends-Eric, Michelle and Lexie. They live in Kaneohe and we were able to spend time together during this trip.
Mika and Lexie.
The Koi pond at Valley of the Temples. Koi fish are very special to us because we visited a park in Changhua County where she was living in Taiwan and fed the fish the first day we met Mika.
Valley of the Temples-a beautiful and peaceful place.
Mika playing around with Lexie and Eric. She was telling Lexie "hang on, don't fall off!"
Max was with us, but not in these photos.
We loved spending time with all of you! Lexie has really bonded with Mika. Today she asked me if Mika was coming over and I explained to her that Mika lives too far away to come over. She keeps telling me that when they were playing, she would say, "Tick" and Mika would say, "Tock." Lexie misses Mika! We hope all of you have a wonderful new year!
