"Happy" Christmas 2008

Happy Christmas to you as they say in these parts. Are you all enjoying the 45 days of Christmas back there in Ohio? Christmas eve and Christmas day were very peaceful for us this year, though i had to work the whole week, it was no hustle and bustle, no stress and we enjoyed both evenings.

Congratulations Myka!

We would like to send a big fat congrats to our daughter Myka who on Friday received her acceptance letter into the UT Nursing program. We are so proud of her!!!!

Icebucks vs. Halla

Sunday evening several of us got together for an Icebucks game out at Nikko. We are happy to report the bucks aren't in last place this year and played a pretty good game. Unfortunately they lost 4-3. It was our firtst opportunity to see the new Canadian players Eric and Mickey on the ice and they didn't disappoint. We hope to get out and see them another time or 2 before the season is out

Another Utsunomiya Saturday Night

Saturday night Heather and some of the other ladies got together for dinner, drinks, karaoke, and other fun. Here i present what looks to be evidence of woman dancing on tables. Probably be a few more of the photos show up in the flickr folder when I get time to upload them. :)
