The Japanese Christmas Card

So these were supposed to be our Christmas card pictures this year. Unbeknownst to me however, there is a two-week processing time from your session till you get the prints. I don't exactly understand that because the pictures are digital...oh, well. So we went to the cutest place inside Toys-R-Us called Alice Studio. They do the hair and makeup and are great with the kids. Each child gets to take home the brush and comb that were used on them as well as the "flip-flop socks" as we call them. I think they came out great with the small exception that the day before the photo shoot, Tyler put his teeth through his top lip! Just adds to the fierce warrior thing I think. The Kun (coon) and Chan at the end of the names is a Japanese thing. They put Chan or Kun at the end of a boy's name and Chan at the end of a girls, to designate that they are children...it is a diminutive thing like the Spanish "-ita" or mija/hijo. I like it because they call Tyler, Tycoon!
