I am going to backtrack a little to Justin's and my birthday, December 15. We had a lovely time with friends and good Mexican food. I have to give props to Heather for trying something completely adventurous on Justin's recommendation. Next time, maybe she'll think twice about that, haha! She tried mole (pronounced mo-lay) sauce, which is truly authentic mexican food but not so tasty in my opinion. Jenny and Justin had the most gigantic margaritas ev. After that, bowling was fun for all, though Aaron kicked everyone's tail with a score of like 160 or so. Now, picture time.
Here's the enormous margarita Jenny is drinking.

In other news, they have completed the dry wall in our house.
You can see our loft area.
Now we have doors and windows, hooray!
Even the siding is going up!

No siding on the front yet.
When we were up in Wisconsin for Christmas, we had a terrifying car accident. There was black ice on the highway and it spun the car out of control. We did a 180 on the highway then proceeded to hit the snow bank and flip the car. Justin and I and his brother Chris and his wife, Akiko were all in the car. By a miracle of God, none of us were hurt except for a couple of scratches and bumps of the head. Also, Akiko is 5 months pregnate and no harm done to her or the baby. We are thanking God for his protection. As you can see the car is pretty beat up.
The top of the car hit the snow bank and the side window busted out.
A back view of the car, you can see the top of the car dented down, it's amazing how the spots where are head are, aren't dented in as much.
The top of the car on the head rest in the passenger seat. Chris was sitting there.
View of the top of the car, eek!
Despite the car accident, we had an extraordinary Christmas with family. Akiko is showing off her decorated cookie.
Itsuki is eating his decorated cookie!
Akiko making a snow angel, we had 2 feet of snow!
Justin is shoveling snow off of the deck to make a snow tobaggen tunnel under the grape arbor.
We are all bundled up.

Talented kid, he can balance a pencil under his nose.
We got my family into playing Guitar Hero. My mom is singing.

I hope everyone else enjoyed their holidays with friends and loved ones. I hope to see everyone very soon!
