This week leading up to Christmas was going to be low-key, but it's getting packed with Christmas festivities. Monday we woke up and watched the Packers while eating green french toast made by the little one. Then I ventured out and showed the new J3 the international market.
Today we took a trip to Costco and IKEA. We don't have a car, so we bring a large suitcase on the train. It takes us about 1 hour and 30 minutes to get there because of elevators and transfer trains. we at meatballs at 10:30am because they looked so delicious. We decided to get a turkey for New Year's Eve and Erik carried it home in my backpack.
Tomorrow I'm going to take Nozomi to the aquarium to see Santa. I also read there is a Sea Lion show where they preform to handbells. She'll love it. Then we are going to eat curry for lunch and head to Toys R Us.
We have a guest staying with us for a few days, so I'm going to clean the house on Thursday and prepare room in our inn. Erik is going to take Nozomi to her favorite place: A-so-bo-no, an indoor play park.
Friday we have an international potluck at playgroup. I love potlucks with our international community. They are scrumptious.
We have a day of rest on Saturday (maybe a good day to bake the 200 cookies I need for Monday), and then our marathon to Christmas Eve begins on Sunday with a large congregation worship and party.
It seems stressful and busy, but we love it.
