Okinawa, Japan - 1st December 2008

By: JaymeC

Since we have to get packing to go to Tokyo, Jayme decided we could do the decorating today to come home to the apartment being decorated for Christmas. Fun! Jayme put up the tree and put the lights on, then we got to put on the ornaments! Everyone in Jayme's family gets one ornament a year, they usually have something to do with that year.

The first ornament we found was a double... it was two identical Shrek ornaments. Jayme said that's because she and Manuel got each other the same ornament last year! I guess there are problems to this ornament buying thing.

There was a pretty panda ornament. Apparently Jayme's son had a panda stuffy he wouldn't let go of for almost a year. Maybe I can meet him later...

Since Jayme's husband is in the US military there's lots of military ornaments (and you can see the Shrek ones in the background).

There's also a small nativity ornament for the tree.

At the bottom of the tree we put the non-breakable Sesame Street ornaments so if the boys got ahold of them, they wouldn't get hurt.

And finally we put the star at the top of the tree.

Can you find five toyvoyagers hiding in the Christmas Tree?

After that we put up the two Nativity sets. This one went up high where little hands couldn't reach it.

Then we put up the child nativity set that the kids can play with.

Jayme doesn't have a fireplace, so we put the stockings on the wall.

We also put some lights over the tv where the NFL jersey's are for the NFL season. Jayme said they could use some decorating. #21 is Manuel's favorite team, the San Diego Chargers, but they lost today :(

Wow. We got worn out decorating... it may be awhile til the next update since we're headed to Tokyo soon and we don't know if we can update there!

Love,
Guss
