I changed the time zone on our blog settings to reflect Tokyo time, and it reset the times for every posting I've ever done. Weird. We are 17 hours ahead of California time...an easy way to figure that out would be to add 5 hours and change AM to PM or vice versa. Eastern time would only add 2 hours and change AM to PM, etc.
Anyway, on to Flashback Friday...
Back in 2006, we spent our first Christmas in our first very-own home. We had lived there only a couple of months, and we just barely finished painting the entire thing...all 2500 sq. feet of it!
Although we are SO happy to be here in Okinawa (especially together) we do miss our home...it was an awesome home!
This was also the Wii Christmas...Wiis were nearly impossible to come by. Several midnight trips to WalMart finally netted us this one...
We had our kids believing there was NO possible way we would be able to find one. In order to prolong the moment, rather than wrap it up and put it under the tree, we hid it in the piano trunk/bench. It was SO funny to watch the reactions on their faces when all the presents had been opened, and they didn't get so much as a game for their current systems. You could tell they were trying to put on brave and grateful faces. Then as an afterthought, mom said, "Oh, I almost forgot...I got you each your own special piano books since you've been doing so well with your lessons." They opened the trunk and this is what they found. You can see the video on our YouTube channel (imperialstuarts). It was sweet!
Don't even know what to call this one...
Wonder if Brownie will find her stocking before the rest of us?
Nom...Nom...Nom. I'd like to see her try to bury this one!

Love you!
