Merry Christmas Eve

The highlight of our morning was playing at the park with our friends Kathleen, Sydney and Julia.


















Then Sydney and I put together a gingerbread house from a kit (that Mommy never got around to opening last year) and decorated some last-minute cookies for Santa. Needless to say, we didn't eat the gingerbread house. But I hope the icing was still good, since Sydney ate her weight's worth.














Can you guess which side of the house is Sydney's brainchild and which is mine?











Then we wrapped up (heh) the evening with our friends the Ahlgrims and the Millers for dinner. We brought this delicious and traditional Japanese Christmas cake from our local bakery. Maybe next year Sydney and I will be ready to attempt this. Well, we'll have to since we won't be in Japan anymore.
