Today I woke up and got ready for our first of 3 Christmas celebrations. But first Mom and I went out to the Orinda area to go visit Auntie Robin because her mom is in the hospital. It was nice to see her and Mrs. Takahashi. She was sleeping when we first got there so, we didn't see her until later. The girls, Mali and Noel were at the house, so we decided to take them out to lunch. We went to a place in Moraga that served Chinese and Japanese food, kind of different but still not bad. After, we dropped the girls off at their home and then went back to Oakland.
Court, Tyler and Lauren were going to meet us at home, before we were going to the Tsukahira's house for our annual get together. I think this would be the 6th or 7th year where we get together before or after xmas to open presents together. This year was at Auntie Janet's house so we head on over. Dinner was really good, Auntie Janet made black cod, brussel sprout salad, agedashi tofu and grilled asparagus. Everything was delicious!
Brussel Sprout Salad
Miso Black Cod
String Beans
Age Dashi Tofu and Asparagus
Because the boys got done eating early, they were watching a picture video,
Dru-Dru kept saying "ALL ABOARD" during the movie, so Jace was getting a little irritated.
After eating we go to open up our presents!! WOoo! :) I think everyone liked their gift, Court had the boys and got them a really cool gift, ANGRY BIRDS. But, it was life-size, they could build their own towers and knock them down with a big sling shot. It was pretty neat, I was impressed.
Check out the angry bird in action, Court video-taped it. I say, it was a pretty successful Tsukahira Christmas 2011! To many more years to come!
