Christmas in San Diego

This year my side of the family gathered in San Diego!  It was a very nice mellow visit.  We spent a lot of time at the beach...a nice way to spend the holidays!  Thanks to everyone for making it down here!

Setting up the Christmas Tree

This was the first time we put up a tree.  It was lots of fun, the kids loved it!

My Birthday!

We celebrated my birthday by playing at the park, spending a nice relaxing day together, enjoying a delicious meal and beautiful cake!  What more could I want?  More and more I realize how precious our time together as a family is.  Thanks for a wonderful birthday Tetsushi, Yukine and Hiroto!
