YoCoWil Christmas

Team WilYo took the ferry down to warm Kodiak for Chistmas. Nami took a lot of awesome pictures, and blogged about the visit here (ferry ride and beach adventure) and here (surfing) and here (Chistmas). It's always entertaining to get a Google Translated Japanese perspective on our lives. Thanks for visiting, Uncle Regan and Aunt Nami, and cousins Musashi and Arashi! We are looking forward to your next visit! Hopefully you can come back again in the summer... see the bears, catch some fish (and waves), climb some hills, and pick some berries!

We built a snow cave, dodged waves, hung out, learned all about gaming, saw Little Fokkers, ate some tasty food, got randomly caroled, opened some presents, enjoyed warm fires, and generally enjoyed a double family style Christmas. We are always thankful to be able to spend time with family!

Our pictures are not nearly as excellent as Nami's, but here are a few we took:



Christmas Skyping to Oki Island, Japan. (Chistmas Eve here, but already Christmas there.)

Uncle Regs!

Hanging out.

The cousins introduce Pax and Stokes to the joys of video gaming.

Santa's present for Paxson Revel:

Pax just made the age limit for hockey, but there is only one other four year old. He and the other four year old go to practice, but they are pretty much oblivious to the rules. They just skate around, pushing each other, and occasionally kicking a puck. He seems to enjoy it.

Here he is teaching Stoko fall down moves. (Cool tricks.)

The hazards of placing Christmas tree decorations within toddler reach:

Snowcave and sledding action.

Welcome to the world, baby Sawyer Thoreau! Come out whenever you are ready, Captain America!
