Merry Christmas at the Yamamotos!

Okay, Chris bought a new card reader and so i was able to download some photos! We are still enjoying our time off here in WA!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! We had a wonderful day with Chris' family -- Grandmamoto, Grandpamoto, Kevin and Steve! Great food, great presents, and lots of dancing -- with Rylan! Sorry, picture downloads will have to wait until we return to NC! In the meantime, enjoy Rylan's Christmas photos! Despite being sick, he did great! Here's the link, just type in "Joni Yamamoto" for the customer name!

Hi all! We had a wonderful time in Cancun with my parents, Aunt Virginia, Uncle Ben, Andrew, Molly and Kate, Les and Steve! Unfortunately Rylan got sick the night before we left and has been miserable ever since with herpangina (fever and ulcers in the mouth!). We leave today for Seattle to spend Christmas with the Yamamotos. Enjoy the photos and have a Merry Christmas!

What a wonderful "last hurrah" weekend we had with the Gould's in Charleston this past weekend! Thanks guys, for a great time! We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express (awesome), toured downtown Charleston, took a boat to Ft. Sumter, ate Gelato, had great Thai food, Indian food, Italian food, visited an old plantation (Drayton Hall) with a 265 yr old house, ate some more Gelato, and just had fun hanging out with our friends! Enjoy these photos!
