So Christmas has come and gone!!! We wanted to post a holiday picture before Christmas but didn't get around to it until Christmas morning. I think it's still ohkay to post though!
Ryan is feeling much better and has come out of his quarantine. We are hoping to ski a little this week to practice for our trip to Niseko the next week!
For Christmas eve, we had dinner with a teacher friend of ours and her two daughters. They were so cute that the TV crew that happened to be in the restaurant took video of them saying "Oishi! Oishi!" (Delicious!!) about their curry.
We had a late start on Christmas day but after opening and playing with our presents for a little while, we went out to Odori Park to see the "White Illumination," which is when they basically go crazy with Christmas lights all over the park. It was Ryan's first time out in the city since he got sick. The city is so beautiful dressed in snow and lights. I can't wait for the Yuki Matsuri (Snow Festival) next month!
Here's some things we got for Christmas:
Here I am standing next to a White Illumination sign:
Well, that's it for now...Please see the photo album I attached below for more pictures. We have video of the White Illumination and the choir we saw while we were walking around but I'll post them later!
Ja ne!
(That's not a typo of my name...that's the Japanese equivalent of "see ya!" or "bye!"...it's the informal way of saying goodbye.)
