More strange Santa photos

Thursday, December 15th, 2011

Getting a lot more like Christmas around our house these days. Put up the tree of course right after Thanksgiving which is our family tradition. We usually leave the tree and lights up until New Year’s Day.

We have been putting things up a little at a time this year because of a really, really crazy schedule and the fact that large number of our previous decorations haven’t aged well and needed replacing.

We were playing around the tree a few nights ago and took a few photos of our blowup Santa and some of his helpers.

Here they are…

Santa looks a little different here

Monday, December 12th, 2011

Last Saturday we had a huge get together with the Tokai CISV group.

Nothing like bowling and food and friends!

We had a good time, and it was really great to get to see every body, and to go bowling. It’s been a while.

On the first game I bowled 3 strikes in the 10th frame. WOW!!! It was pretty cool, well, except that even with that I only bowled 106 total. Sad ;-( Especially because lots of people saw those last three strikes and then noticed that I hadn’t exactly been tearing it up before that. Oh well 😉

Here are a few pictures from the afternoon, plus one of the boys with the ‘Santa’ in the display at the Hoshigaoka Bowling Center.

New Christmas Lights at our house

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

We got a bit of a late start on this, and we’re still not finished even though Christmas is just around the corner.

Our lights from the last few years have been dropping off one by one, so this year we had to get some new ones. We’ve looked at all the department stores and specialty shops but couldnt’ find anything that really went well for our house, so we ended up having to order some things.

We love the internet 😉

Here are a few pictures. They’re not great, but they give you an idea. We have more lights coming in the next couple of days so I hope to update things then.

UPDATE: added a couple of new strings of lights.
