Asami came to visit America for Christmas and New Year’s Eve! For about 2 weeks, she enjoyed many things for the first time and got to spend time with my friends and family. I went to pick her up from the airport on December 23rd, the day before Christmas Eve. I took her to an Applebee’s for her first meal in America:

By the time we got back to Eau Claire, it was dark out.

Me walking her luggage up to my dorm.
She didn’t get to do much other than look at scenery the first day. But, the next day was Christmas Eve, the first full day.
I took her to the mall so she could do some shopping and have lunch.

We spent Christmas Eve with my family. We exchanged a lot of gifts.

Asami got me a Wah-Pedal for my guitar:

Thank you!

Asami got my family various Nagasaki snacks.

Mom wrapping some gifts for tomorrow.

Asami got Dad this bottle of sake.

Dad with the sake.

Everyone drinking.
We spent the night at my family’s house. Here are our stockings hanging above the fireplace.

Asami got her own stocking. It’s the red one in the middle.
Next post will be of Christmas Day. I have a lot of photos to go through, so I’m not posting all of the days at once. Give it a few days for everything to be online.Posted at 3:05 pm
