Christmas Day 2009

Christmas Eve

Okinawa Zoo Chrismas Light Fesitival

The night before Christmas, our friends the Torres's and ourselves headed out to the zoo. THe girls and I had seen this exhibit last year but we wanted Robbie to see it this year. The girls had fun looking at the animals and then playing in the snow. After the snow, they did a light show with lasers. It was a little weird because it wasn't all christmas music - it included music from Pirates of the Carribean and Michael Jackson. Oh well, you never know what you will get with the Japanese!!! We had fun and that's all that matters!

Christmas Traditions

I know that I have been slack with posting. Each time I think that I am going to get better we get busier. Anyways, here's to an upcoming new year and better postings :)

On Saturday, we had our annual cookie baking day. Every year, as my mom did with me, I bake cookies with Gabbie and now Lulu. Typically, we only invite one friend but this year we invited two. The girls had fun baking the cookies although with 4 batches of dough, they left me high and dry at the end. As you can see in the pictures, Robbie and our friend Joe took care of decorating the rest.

Afterwards, we made dinner for the kids and we hung out with friends. Overall, it was a fun day...more fun days to come now that Robbie is on vacation till the new year!!! Woo Hoo!!!
