Last Friday, after school, I took Leia to Nerima where Grandma had brought out the tree and decorations for Leia. She let Leia decorate the entire tree by herself this year (almost!). The big girl was proud that she could reach almost to the top this year! Thanks Grandma!!!
....and of course, no celebration would be complete without cookie baking with Grandma!! By now, we've perfected the baking production and decorating skills have reached an art!! Grandma was impressed with Leia's abstract expressionist touch :) ...and Jiji enjoyed a sample :)
As an annual tradition, Mom's friend Bonnie was kind enough to pass on some great Christmas reading material! Thanks, Bonnie!!
While we were visiting, we also had time to look though some old photographs. I found a few from Christmases past - one of Mom with her skunk - her secret pet at college!! And another of one of Mom and Papa's first Christmases together :) Beautiful couple, eh?!
Maybe if Mom can find time in between baking a pie and basting the turkey, she can share a photo or two of us when we were all living together in Mejiro.
We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and may Santa bring you all you want and more to keep you happy, healthy and fulfilled throughout the rest of the year and into the next!
Love and peace and all that's good!!!
Norie, Hiro and Leia
