Diamond Is Forever

A small box which contained a simple yet beautiful ring is a gift from my husband that made me cry during our 10th Wedding Anniversary. I bet my husband wants to impress me with a stunning platinum 0.22 carat diamond ring and yes he did! It was actually my dream ring~ classic and elegant ^_^

True love is like a diamond; it is rare, beautiful and lasts forever.

Valentine's Day 2012

Because here in Japan, we celebrate Valentine's Day the other way around....

Here's our gift to Yochan ( store-bought chocolate and neckties from me and homemade chocolates from the kids) ^_^

Women gives gifts to men ( mostly chocolates) to men on Valentine's Day and one month later, on March 14, men give gifts to women.

Our Noche Buena

Here's our Christmas eve dinner that I prepared ( except for the cake ) last year and even though we had plan of going to Nagano next day to celebrate Christmas there, I prepared something for us to celebrate Christmas eve at home. The kids doesn't have an idea that we're going somewhere on Christmas Day while me and my husband were pretty excited about the Nagano trip because the trip is our Christmas gift to them^_^

Well anyway, here's our Noche Buena:

Bruschetta

Medium Rare Beef Steak with Mashed Potato on the side

2011 Christmas Stage Play

I remember saying Haruka chan that she likes the role Mother Mary the time we attended her big sissy Wakaba's Christmas Stage Play during her kindergarten years. Haruka chan did her part of her role as 'The star' during her 2010 Christmas Stage Play and she did an excellent performance but I remember her still wanting the role Mother Mary. Mid-October of last year she said she passed the audition for the role mother Mary - finally! She was so exited and I can't remember for how many times she practiced the lines, singing in the bathroom room, singing while walking on our way home, whenever she's doing something, sometimes she'll hum the song lol!
I adviced her to make her voice louder when singing onstage so that the audience could hear her but she said 'Mother Mary is the chosen one so her voice must be soft not loud.' LOL!

Well anyway here's the photos and video of her as mother Mary during the Christmas stage play in yochien. A very proud moment of her that made my heart swell with pride (o^∀^o)

Happy 10th Anniversary To Us

Dear Yochan,

You are the one for no reasons, colors my day with for many reasons, made me laugh, sometimes cry and often times makes me blush. It has been 10 years since we are married and we have gone a lot most especially of last year but it has only made us stronger. I love you with all of my heart and I will be here right by your side and even when the trials might come, WE WILL STAND STRONG.

Happy 10th Year Anniversary to us, my love! ^_^

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself.

~ Norman W. Brooks ~

From our Family to yours, we wish you all a joyous Christmas and a Prosperous New Year!
