Call me crazy....

We just bought Grace her first Christmas present today!! Yes, she is getting a pink rocking horse this year. She won't even know what it is but she can grow into it. And we are excited about it and can't wait for Christmas!! Here are a couple pictures of the horse... it sings a song to the tune of "Frosty the Snowman" and moves it's mouth.

And... they already have CHRISTMAS TREES at the BX. Of course they are the fake ones and we really want to get a live tree. We might go ahead and buy one of these as a backup in there is a year when we can't get a Christmas Tree here. We hear the live trees only last a couple days at the store. I am tempted to pull out my Christmas music and start playing it now since I am totally in the Christmas spirit.

On a different note, we are headed up to Okuma (the military resort) for 3 days and 2 nights for the Family Retreat that is put on by the Army Chaplain's on Okinawa. We are really looking forward to a couple relaxing days. If the weather clears up (There was a typhoon headed straight for us late last week but it turned and has since became a tropical storm and we are seeing a lot of rain from that right now) we might spend some time in the ocean or on the golf course. But if it keeps raining we will still have a good time... we might even head down to see the world's largest aquarium! Ok, it's off to go pack...
