Christmas

Christmas day isn't a public holiday in Japan. So Shimada-san came to look after Hannah for a few hours as usual. I took the day off and the plan was that Rika and I would go shopping together. But Hannah had other ideas and insisted that I join her trip with Shimada-san to the local sports center.

The sports center has a good indoor play area. This is Shimada-san and Hannah on the trampoline.

Hannah took these photos of Shimada-san




And this self-portrait


In the evening we went to Opera City for a short concert of Christmas carols.




Hannah seemed to enjoy it.


Rika cooked roast beef for Christmas dinner. We were joined by Kyo-chan.


On the 26th Kyo-chan and I took Hannah to Shinjuku park.


For Christmas, we gave Hannah a small and robust camera. These are some of the photos Hannah took:
