Christmas in Japan

We did Christmas celebrations early, so David could see the kids open presents in person..One thing that Skype can't quite convey..Christmas morning excitement. It was a long, long process since Preston wanted to open each toy after he unwrapped it. The kids were happy as clams! They must have been good this year.

(that I so lovingly hand-sewed...Just call me Martha).

Each day he got a treat and had to do something kind.

Christmas craft

Our stockings (I had a sewing maching for these).

I am very, very rusty.

Santa came!!!



Opening their loot

Best Dad Award goes to.....David for buying the most obnoxious toy ever....

Everytime it moves the siren goes off and it shoots real water...SSSWWWEEETTTT!

Play time before practice

Happy babies
