How I spent my Christmas Day

 We had a slightly different Christmas day this ear.  My niece Katie was flying in to visit us and things did not go as planned with her flights.  Thus she ended up not arriving in time for Christmas.  So we postponed it.  The kids enthusiastically thought that was a great idea.

While everyone else was getting up early, we slept in.  I did let the kids pick one gift to open and they had fun with that.

Josh was very excited about the gifts.  The kids may have gone a little overboard, but they wanted to get loot for each other and I did not want to suppress their generosity!

So many choices!

Marian wasn't sure how she felt about they breech from tradition, but she was happy to open a present.

 Callie was all ready for Christmas festivities.

We went out to the mall for Christmas dinner at the food court there.  Since we are in Japan, they don't really close down for Christmas, so we did not feel guilty. 

Marian tried Taco Rice for the first time.  She liked it. 

 Josh already ate his meatless taco rice, and Rylee is enjoying her Udon noodles.
