Happy Holidays!

First of all, thanks to everyone who has sent us holiday cards. The wall o' love is really shaping up nicely and we're feeling quite loved.

We made a lot of Christmas cookies the other day:

We woke up Christmas morning, opened the shoji screens and found this:


The first snow of the season and it came right in time for a white Christmas!

John's sister brought us a lot of treats from home including all these books. We should be pretty set for winter reading now...


On Christmas night we had a party complete with white elephant gift exchange a Wii bowling tournament. Then we sang karaoke until 4am.

We'll leave you with this (in front of the music box museum in our town right now):

  3. Josh - that was hilarious. We all had a good laugh, especially about the Japan bit.

    Ashby - isn't it? There's usually a clown cranking the music box, which is actually creepier.
