14th Christmas Party!

We had our Christmas Party with the 14th at the Grand Kamaki Restort... it is like the holiday Inn Executive Center of Misawa... BUT WITH AN AWESOME ONSEN!I think Derick cleaned up nicely... he is wearing a suit he got while he was in Korea and I am wearing the dress that I wore in Caitlyn's wedding... and who says you cant reuse bridesmaid dresses?!
I just thought the little chopstick and fork holders were so cute... so you never get food from your utensils on the table
Derick eating yakisoba
who gets sushi at their Christmas party? I guess thats what happens when you live in Japan!
It was a huge spread, we each had a tray of sushi and tempura and then there was a huge lazy susan in the middle of table that they kept bringing out course after course of food
I thought this looked like something I would make... this is the hallway to the ballroom
On our way back to base, we rode the resorts bus so we would not have to drive, we were excited for the afterparty at La La La's... a karaoke place right outside the gate
Erica and a backwards LA LA LA's sign.. its funny cause Japanese people generally have a hard time saying L's so it comes out RA RA RA's so that is what we call it... and I know people that think RA RA RA is the actual name because that is what everyone says...

so at this place you get your own room, they have small ones and big ones, and its really fun becuase you are only singing in front of people you know and love you... we had the big room and this is what Japanese Karaoke looks like....

There are two mics (Derick is one one at the bottom) and the whole room sings with you! It is SUPER fun!
And there was this crazy Christmas light show going outside the window of our room! I think this was the best Christmas party I have ever been to! Good job 14th!
