New years eve 2011

Celebrating new years eve with friends and family. It was a great way to end the year and we had so much fun. We made japanese food (tako yaki, kon yaku, and fish cakes) and American food (salad and pizza) and everyone had a great time. It was delicious!

We ended the day by going to Awase Grace (a home furnishings store) and they were decorating for the big celebration the next day.

Photos for December....

Sorry that these photos are being posted so late! We've had a very busy month since coming home from Hawaii. (Christmas, new year, anniversary etc) Anyway, we had a wonderful Christmas and Santa was very nice this year!







Out of all the "fancy" toys she received, she loves her new slinky!! Go figure. The classic toys are still great!

A happy Christmas morning!



I bought this funny tshirt for Max when we were in Tokyo and kept it hidden until Christmas. He loved it.

Another funny tshirt I found in Tokyo.

Max got lots of new clothes, video games and some history books that he wanted. Mika got a violin, some new toys and clothing also. (And a scooter!)
