Mika's First Christmas
Mika enjoyed her first Christmas! Taka enjoyed dressing her in a Santa outfit that his parents' bought her (Doesn't he look happy in the photo of the two of them??:). On the Sunday before Christmas Day, we celebrated Jesus' birt
hday together with the church fam. Mika wore a "My First Christmas" outfit that our friends the Risdens sent her (see red & white outfit with cap photo). I (Aki) asked a lady who came for our Christmas service (she volunteers with the Seniors program that were pictured in the last blog) to keep an eye on Mika while I quickly did something. She went and stood right over her! (I thought she'd just watch from where she was sitting:) So I moved Mika closer to her and she LOVED watching her (see photo). On Christmas Day (Thursday, and not a holiday here) we had a Christmas dinner with our church family that worships together at the Center location (avg. attendance is about 10). Some couldn't come, but one of our members brought her family and they are pictured holding Mika in the Santa outfit. The grandmother really wanted to meet her! (Two of the ladies are also my English students & had visited us in the hospital) Mika got a nice warm "my first Christmas" sleeper from Grandma & Grandpa Crouch that she loves because it is nice and warm which is especially nice since there is no central heating here. She was all smiley for the photos, then let me know she'd done enough smiling :) The other photos are just ones I thought were cute...not on Christmas, but that's ok:) Hope you enjoy these pictures!
