Merry Christmas and a Happy, Happy New Year!


Happy Holidays from Jason!!

The kids were super excited this morning and only because of their jet lag did they end up waking up a decent hour.

Jason was happy that Santa brought him a Mickey Mouse robe, some bling and some sugar... He wanted to sit and watch garbage truck videos and it took some coaxing to get him to open his presents, but he got the hang of it.


Ben was excited about all of his gifts... Star Wars figures, Skylanders, a skateboard... he wasn't sure what to play with first.  I think he has lots to keep him busy and happy for quite awhile.


My favorite Christmas moment was when Kara saw the tiara from Santa... Kara was given a tiara from her ballet teacher last spring for her recital.  She wore it around the house and somehow, the tiara broke and we had to throw it away.  Almost in tears, Kara asked, "how can we throw away diamonds?"  Since Santa knows all, Kara found the tiara in her stocking and when she placed it on her head this morning she said, "I'm back."  She literally wore it all day.


The kids got to play with their cousins on the Kozuki and Hiyama sides of the family during the Christmas Eve and Christmas gatherings.  They had a great time... With the vacationing, traveling and then immediately going into Christmas, I think we all wish we could just enjoy a mid-afternoon nap.


Merry Christmas to all... and to all a good night's sleep.
