Christmas is still 2 weeks away but I feel like jolly old St. Nick has already been to our house! Although we've now logged 6 months on the island of Guam, our Japanese friends are still sending us fun stuff from our former home and I have been incredibly touched by their thoughtful gifts! We are so lucky to have made such wonderful friends during our time in Japan! Thanks to their thoughtful, generous efforts I've even been able to keep up my Kit Kat collection in Guam!
John especially loves his new samurai "hat"!
Christmas prep around the Lykins house continues to go well as we are eagerly anticipating the arrival of my parents on Christmas Eve! School finals for me start on Saturday, and these will be my last classes of 2008! I'm really looking forward to holiday break and having some time to catch up to John in the new Lich King expansion for WoW!
Today I start my official holiday baking and I just can't wait! The USO is having two big cookie events before Christmas day and so I'll be cooking up a storm to provide base families and service members with tasty baked treats to commemorate the season. I've always loved holiday baking, so it is a real treat for me to have an outlet for my hobby rather than just increasing the waistlines of my friends and family!
I always bring a raincoat in my backpack and wrap my valuables in it before riding a water ride.
