-Erik made a delicious turkey this year for Thanksgiving. We celebrated our blessings with over 40 people. One young first grader was so upset to leave the party at church that he started crying. We must me be doing something right if little boys don't want to leave church.
-During Advent at Tokyo Lutheran we gathered for some special activities: making Christmas cards and decorating cookies. Erik and I some how managed to make a triple batch of sugar cookie dough and bake several dozen cookie between taking care of our newborn.
-This year for Christmas we had the usual candlelight service. It went very well and Erik was much more confident this year. On Christmas Day, we decided to have a party at our apartment especially for those who did not have family or friends to spend the day with. We had about 15 people in our tiny apartment. We filled up on gingerbread cookies and hot chocolate while singing Christmas Hymns. It was very lovely.
But mostly we've been busy with our lovely daughter Nozomi. In these last two and a half months she has grown so much. It's amazing to see how much she learns each day. She brings us much joy (as well as some sleepless nights and extra loads of laundry.)
Blessings,
Tauna
