Skiing & Snowboarding

The boys went skiing (Hodaigi) and snowboarding (Oze Iwakura). It was Danny's first time for both -- of course he picked it up right away! He prefers skiing at this time.... Ric, as usual, is a double-black diamond skier and is beautiful on the slopes!

Guess who turned 8!!

Yup, you guessed it! Danny turned 8! We celebrated by going to Sea Paradise with some friends. Sea Paradise is like Sea World in San Diego but it has a LOT of rides -- Danny rode on an ENORMOUS roller coaster (among other things)! During the evening, Danny had his friend Liam spend the night -- we played games and watched movies! Of course, Danny's cake had a "triforce" on it!

Christmas Magic!

Who is more excited?

Santa was very, very good to us! (Danny saved his money and bought Ric the Nintendo DS gaming system in the top photo. Santa brought each of them a Guitar Hero game.)
