We went shopping today at one of the big stores near us (Qanat). Wendy wanted a calendar and we got sucked into the Christmas decorations and ended up with a tree, and each person picked out an ornament! It brightens the mood a bit. We are heading to Tokyo this week. We will be at Tokyo Disney on Christmas day, and Disney Sea (Like Sea world? but Disney? Its supposed to be better than Disney world) the next day. We are also riding the shinkansen (bullet train, しんかんせん) and seeing Cirque du Soleil. Its going to be a big week!
Here are the kids. The ornaments tower over the tree. M picked out the pink Christmas tree, N picked out the blue Santa, W picked out the bunny, A picked out the wreath.
We are seeing these "gummy" decorations all over. M made a wreath...
... and N made good use of candy canes, holly and stars!
We got them Santa hats last week on our quest for Christmas lights and decorations. We also have seen some good lights; these are near Doshisha University:
and here we are inside the Teramachi arcade (covered shopping district downtown)
also, we got haircuts!
I can't believe we've been here 4 months already. Sometimes it seems like the time has flown by, and other times (like when the kids are screaming about how they don't want to go to school) it seems to be dragging on. Next summer will be here before we can believe it, I know. I am trying to enjoy and savor every moment.
