Ugly Sweaters and First Visitors!!

First of all, we have to shout out to our friends Nick and Elle who introduced us to the world of pasta-making! We celebrated Thanksgiving with them two years ago where they taught us how fun it is and since then, we have had a New Year's pasta-making party and now this year, an ugly sweater, pasta- making Christmas! This new Diller tradition around the holidays is official.

Thank you, Daiso, for the cheap Christmas gear!

LOVE Drucie's creativity - she MADE her "ugly Christmas sweater"!

Just a wee bit of Christmas violence

These guys had the pasta making down to a science and rocked it out!

Lots of pasta needed to feed 13 hungry people!

Played some new games - stack the chairs was WAY more complicated and challenging than you'd think!

Picture time!

OK, let's try this again. 

This is what a tuckered out Bruce looks like.

On to the next day: our first Okinawa guests were Kim and her precious son, Silas! For lunch, we went to this nifty looking restaurant in Naha. Cool, huh?

The restaurant serves Japanese style, make it yourself soup called Shabu Shabu. The broth is heated table side.

We ordered the veggie plate which had thinly sliced daikon, mushrooms, carrots, cabbage, fried and regular tofu. You cook the veggies to your liking in the broth then remove them and dip them in two flavors of sauce and grab a mouthful of rice with it. Delicious.

Check out this cutie! Joel coached Silas in baseball when we were in Iwakuni. :)

Wouldn't be a a complete meal without dessert at Blue Seal!

Too much fun in Okinawa. :)
