Oops!  Outside Disney Sea on Thanksgiving Day.

Ariel's Grotto at Disney Sea


Miniture land- Erik and nephew Kyle got really into the Egypt exhibit!


Japanese school kids made me miss my students!  No matter what language, kids are the same everywhere!

Niko- famous Buddist Temple in the redwoods of Japan.  So Beautiful!

Outside the Niko Temple.  This ended up being our Christmas card this year.  Greetings from Tokyo!

Erik and nephew Kyle at Disney Sea.  If we look thrashed-it's because we have jet lag!

My new sister-in-law Aimee - actually set her up with my brother-in-law...I've known her for over 18 years!  So fun to get to pick your sister-in-law!  They got married in December 2009.

Viewing the Christmas lights

We love to see the Christmas lights at Temple Square in Salt Lake City.  They are beautiful and invigorating!   A holiday must!
