Well, it's the day after Christmas and we are settling into our evening routine... family movie accompanied by a few snores from Papa. Denny is on the computer and probably truly wishing that she could be watching HGTV instead of Mall Cop... but the kids won.
We had a wonderful Christmas - Santa was very good to all of us. Lots of goodies - Sydney got a princess doll house, Chris got a kindle, Nicholas is loving his electricity set, Papa got a new wallet, Denny got a photo book full of pictures of her grandbabies, and Mommy got a new strand of black pearls. Don't think it could get much better!
On Christmas Eve, I took mom to Shibuya, a major shopping area where literally a million people pass each day. For those of you who watched the last season of the Amazing Race - this was the intersection they walked through. Her eyes were huge as we walked along... we went through a typical Tokyo department store and through the Disney store. I even treated her to McDonalds (I know - I'm the big spender...). Next we went to Omotesando, another shopping area to meet everyone else so we could go to Christmas Eve services at the Tokyo Union Church (www2.gol.com/users/tuc/) and see the lights in stores like Louis Vuitton and Chanel. After church we toured the famous Japanese toy store, KiddyLand, to continue our path of sensory overload!! This store is huge and packed on 6 different floors...
Christmas was a great day - staying at home, watching the kids play with all of their goodies, and eating a yummy turkey with all the "fixins" for dinner. Today we did some more touring - went to Tokyo Tower and ZoJo Ji Temple, finishing the day off with dinner at one of our favorite restaurants - Panic Cafe!
We are now stuffed and ready for bed - Guess, though, we'll wait until Mall Cop is over!
