I love this time of the year! Despite being so cold, the numerous events kept me so busy that I couldn’t just cozy up at home if I wanted to.

我愛的月份！雖然天氣冷，但活動多讓我不能賴在家裡不想出門。（你們覺得呢？）

Tomato Plant | 家種小番茄

從種子發芽長根到紅通通，歷經這六個月，失望挫敗到欣喜諾狂。

Grown from the seed up over the past 6 month! This process took us through some emotional rollercoaster!

3 MEF Band Christmas Concert

What a performance! The music truly brought Christmas to those of us who are stationed in Japan! No wonder my clarinet teacher said this is their most popular performance!

太喜歡這次的表演了，讓住在日本的我們能好好感受聖誕氣氛、難怪我的老師說這是他們最受歡迎的表演！

Raft Fishing | 筏釣

即使這次收穫不如以往，我還是很熱衷這類能讓頭腦放空思考問題但同時不能過於發呆，且手還必須很忙一直動的活動（像刺繡！）

Even though we didn’t catch a lot of fish like we did before, I still like activities like fishing where I can think about other things while keeping my hands busy (with embroidery!)

Cake Decorating Workshop | 蛋糕裝飾課

The Naval Officer Spouse Club of Okinawa learned how to decorate a cake this month, and the product of my hard labor once again gave UN a nice surprise! Our teacher gave us step-by-step instructions, and answered many of my questions about making a cake.

軍眷團這個月來學做蛋糕，再次驚艷UN！這次有老師一步一步教課，好多以前做蛋糕遇到的疑問都被解答。

Staycation at Hyatt Regency Seragaki Island

Our wedding was held at a Hyatt hotel in San Diego, so this brand has a special place in our hearts. This Hyatt Regency in Okinawa did not disappoint! Lofted ceiling at the lobby, ocean view room, heated swimming pool and jacuzzi, and a great selection of restaurants to choose from all allowed us to relax during our staycation.

我們的婚禮辦在聖地牙哥的Hyatt，所以這家飯店一直在我們心裡有個特別的位置。在沖繩的Hyatt當然也沒讓我們失望！挑高大廳、房間外的海景和多種餐廳選擇都讓我們在這次的staycation能放鬆一下。

Christmas Party | 聖誕派對

Winner from the raffle at this year’s Christmas Party!! Hooray!

我們贏禮物耶！

3 MEF Band Chopper V Promotion

My first time witnessing the promotion of a dog! It was super cute! Chopper sang along with the band for the Marine’s anthem, and even barked once when asked to give a speech for his promotion!

我還真的第一次看到狗狗被升級，有夠可愛！Chopper在大家唱歌時也一起唱歌，當大家請Chopper致詞時，他還旺了一下！
