Ho-Ho-Ho

Merry Christmas Everyone! It's almost time for Santa to visit us here in Okinawa! Olivia is asleep in bed, and Mommy and Daddy are watching the Santa Tracker on NORAD. As I type this he is in New Guinea, headed towards Australia. Soon he will be here! And Olivia has been very good this year, so he should be leaving lots of presents for her. I know I've been neglecting the blog lately, but we've had computer issues (and I stay pretty busy now with working), but I promise to do better with keeping you updated! Tonight we spent Christmas Eve going to Botanical Gardens. They had tons and tons of lights throughout the park. It was BEAUTIFUL! Olivia just loved seeing all the shining lights. She ran around, danced, and even got a balloon (which later popped). All in all it was a great way to spend Christmas Eve. I wanted to share with you a couple pictures. First is the three of us with Santa. Olivia wasn't really a fan of going to him alone, so all of us had to join in. And if you are wondering about the batteries in her hand - it was the only way she wouldn't scream...

The second picture is from tonight. They had a little set-up where you could purchase fancy pictures to capture the memory of the night.

I took other pictures throughout the park of the lights, but I will post them later. I have to hurry now and go to bed so Santa will come! Merry Christmas to ALL and to ALL a goodnight!
