Of course December was full of holiday activities. There was always something to do:-)
Elijah and Noah playing with their new XBOX Kinect that Grandma and Grandpa Pullen sent them!
Gifts for sharing
Xmas Morning!

All of Elijah's presents=SPOILED!!
All of Noah's presents=ROTTEN!!
The zoo had a holiday snow party!
This was a bounce house they had there--
¥200/min=about $2.50/minute=ridiculous, so only one time each....

No Okinawan event is complete without a little Taiko drumming...and I love it!
I wish the pictures were better of the laser light show.
You'll just have to trust me: it was cool!!
The whole place was lit up with Christmas lights:-)
The boys

Cutie Pies!

SNOW!!!!!

A REAL snowman!
This was supposed to be an ice rink, but there were so many people and it was 55 degrees. Needless to say, it was more of a slush rink...
Pictures with Santa!!
Elijah's class had a walking field trip to the Kadena Air Force Cafeteria. They sang several Christmas carols. He was so cute!!
Christmas on the Beach!
When there is no snow, you get creative: Sand angels!

This is one of our favorite pictures ever...
And of course, a Sandman!!

Kana and Tim at his office xmas party we hosted. It was flawless...of course:)
One of our decorated shisha dogs

Just another beautiful view of our beach...in DECEMBER!
Took a mini day trip to the Yomitan Pottery Factory. There were tons of cool things I would buy, but they were SO expensive. I thought the coolest thing there though was watching this guy make the pottery.

Noah's school Christmas play. I loved this place as a venue for their shows. This was the curtain for the stage.

Cutest routine ever to Miley Cyrus' Rockin around the Christmas Tree!
