Charlie Brown Christmas Tree

When I first saw our Christmas tree this year I thought it was ...... great. It was crooked, and had huge bare spots, but in a land of no Christmas trees it was perfect. Just like a block head like me needs to feel in the Christmas spirit.
Here is the finished product, one Charlie Brown himself would be proud of. The tree itself is in a pot and I thought it would be better if we did not cut it, maybe we can use old Charles next year.

Anna's First Birthday!

Anna was born a year ago on a cold December day (16th) and since she has been in my life she has brought me so much joy.
Comparing the 2, when Eric was a baby he was difficult to say the least. Anna has been completely the oposite, even when she fell off the couch and broke her collar bone she hardly cried. She is always happy and genki.
I really think that not only has she helped me but she also has helped Eric. Eric is more responsible and seems much calmer these days with his sister around. Thank you Satomi for giving us Anna. Thank you Anna for being the happy little center of all of our lives even amid all the chaos and problems.

Sad Reddit Baby

Anna with her reddit baby shirt on.
I think she looks so cute but so sad in this picture. Actually she is just watching TV.

Dolls

In Daikanyama near the data center that I work at there is this doll shop. I walk by it every day, and I can't help but look in the window every time I walk by. I am not sure why but these dolls look kinda creepy, kinda sexy, and kinda innocent all in one.
It is one of the weird things that makes Daikanyama different.
