Thanksgiving Weekend & My Birthday

We are so thankful for this group of "Prowler" friends that we were able to spend Thanksgiving with!
 The day after Thanksgiving we headed to American Village for lunch.  You can't beat this view!

 We got all of our decorations put up this weekend also.  Christmas is not a holiday here in Japan so there are not very many homes with Christmas lights up outside.  Unfortunately, there is a bright street light right next to our house, so it drowned out our snowflakes and spinning candy canes.

For my birthday, I wanted to go see a new area.  We headed to Maeda Flats, which is only about 15 minutes from our house.  We had planned on eating dinner at an Italian restaurant near there, but they were closed for a wedding.





 This island is so beautiful and every beach we have been to offers amazing views and a peaceful atmosphere.
After walking around this area for a bit, we drove around a corner to check out this beach and to catch the sunset.


 Amelia found this perfect shell!


This is a pretty amazing place to spend our birthdays for the next few years!
