Home at last! A long journey from Narao, but well worth it already!! I love being with my family again. Most of these pictures were taken by my mom’s boyfriend George Kocher so I should give him photographic credit. Thanks for recording our memories George!

I made ramen for the family—real Japanese ramen, not that .25¢ stuff from the grocery store. Ramen may be my favorite Japanese dish. Don't forget to slurp!

I forgot just how sweet our cat Brain is! I really wish I could have her in Japan.

Brain loves the attention as much as we do.

Mama and George made Christmas cookies.

Inspecting the cookies, are you George? I’m sure that one’s not good enough to serve to guests. Better eat it yourself!!

We put up a tree and decorated the house. It’s the first time we’ve done it for a while, but it really got me in the Christmas spirit.

Another night we had our family friend, Gavin, come over for dinner. That’s his son, Ainsley, on the right.

Although the pets no longer outnumber the humans, you’d never know it by looking at our album…

Who’s my favorite golden retriever...?!?

...Elsie is!

Cat napping.

Love, Sierra

My friend, Jayme, is engaged and this Christmas meant wedding dress shopping! Isn’t it a beautiful dress?
