December 2010

 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!!

Santa on the beach too?? Sweet!


  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!

Elijah's first time having pop rocks!

Candy lips!

Having random fun near the seawall:-P

A ticket to a concert Tim and I went to. 


Tim's first marathon-The Naha Marathon



Time: 4h9m
He did an AWESOME job!


And ending the month with a fantastic piano recital:-)
