This Time Last Year: Christmas 2009

This time last year, we were deep in the spirit of the holidays while living in Japan. The 80's song "Last Christmas" breathily sang by George Michael was on repeat on every store and we were hopped up on candy canes and wine.

Shenanigans with Emily (Eerie Santa) and Aya-chan. This should be one of those "create your own caption" photos.


Our little Christmas tree in our little abode.


Our nice dinner out to enjoy some hibachi style grilled Wagyu beef from Gato's. It's worth the two train connections and an awkward cab ride.

This Christmas will be much different: We will be with our families and we have little Landon creating the shenanigans!
