Tonight we headed to the mall to visit the big man! Noby was so excited, he couldn’t wait to tell Santa that he needed the Black Angry Bird for Christmas. It was funny because Noby really didn’t have any interest in taking a picture with Santa, he just wanted to tell him about the Angry Bird and get a candy cane! haha
Now as for Koji, he was another story all together. I carried him up to see Santa, he didn’t fine. I place him on Santa’s lap, he did fine. I took one step back, Koji went nuts! He turned red in like two seconds! haha
Today we attending the Annual Hewitt Gingerbread House Making Party! Debbie and I first became friends a few years ago during my first session of water aerobics and over the years have become closer and closer. I was so excited that we were able to attend this year and as you can tell from the pictures the kids had an awesome time!
Debbie helping Noby add some “snow” to his house…
“Mom, can I eat it now?”
Koji was the funniest. Every time we added a piece of candy he would pick it off and eat it. The finished house he took home had no candy on it!
Tonight we had our first holiday party of the season!! I just love this time of year!! Lisa and Paul, once again, out did themselves!! Both Noby and Koji had such a great time playing with Carolyn and all the other kids!!

Carolyn had the cutest dress on, I just had to get a shot by her xmas tree!
It’s been over a year since I primed this bookshelf for Noby’s space room. Today I finally finished it!! The weather wasn’t as nice as the other day so I had to finish painting in the kitchen. It looks great and I can’t wait to get it up in his room!
It’s been a while since we’ve made teppanyaki, so tonight we made Uncle Keith come over for dinner!!! Let me tell you, he didn’t seem to have a problem with it!! hahaha
It was BEAUTIFUL today, just beautiful!! It’s hard to believe its Nov 29!! So I primed this shelf almost a year ago. It’s meant to go into Noby new bedroom. Can I really call his bedroom new anymore? haha Anyway today I got out and put the first coat of orange paint on the shelf!! I hope this weather lasts so I can add a second coat this week!
Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! We’ve had a long day and I’m ready for bed!!! Our day started by Noby getting us up, he was excited to come in our room to wish us a Happy Thanksgiving!! Once the car packed we headed to NY. We needed to make a pit stop in CT to pick up Ichiro’s camera at my parents. We knew we would probably miss my parents but we sent them this picture from the their house!
Ichiro’s parents always do such a nice Thanksgiving. It’s always nice and relaxing to be here. It’s like we’re on vacation! haha
Check out this turkey….
Each year we talk about how this special carving knife only comes out once a year!
Koji couldn’t wait for everyone else…
Noby LOVES the fruit basket that Memere sends each year!
So for the past couple of weeks our gas gauge hasn’t been working correctly. Sometimes the light saying you have no gas turns on when you just filled the tank. Anyway we have been very careful not to let it get to low, we have been following the mile counter to guesstimate how much we have left. Today Ichiro needed a ride to work. The gas light turned on while we were driving into the city, Ichiro said “Don’t worry I think you have abut 1/4 of a tank left.” So we drop Ichiro off and head home. Of course the big yellow gas light makes me nervous so I decide to stop and fill our 19 gallon tank.
This morning Ted and Gail called to see if they could stop by for a visit this afternoon. They’re in the area for Thanksgiving and wanted to see the boys before they headed south again. We were so excited to be able to have them over. It was a great visit!! Koji especially loved it. He was so smitten by Ted! It was adorable!! Every time Ted sat down, Koji wanted to be on his lap. Every time Ted got up, Koji wanted to be right there with him. Koji even got upset when anyone else wanted to give Ted a hug! Like I said, it was adorable!
Thanks again Ted and Gail for the wonderful afternoon!
Today we had to run to the mall for a very quick visit. Out of the corner of his eye, Noby saw this Angry Bird cart and we just HAD to go! haha Standing in the mall, he was in heaven!!!
