Christmas

We had a low-key christmas at home.

First presents from Santa.    Hannah was excited (and perhaps releived) to find that Santa has visited and filled her stocking.   She received a music box, play doh and a play doh accessory that makes 'ice-cream'.

Then exchanging presents from the family.   We gave Hannah a set of Harry Potter DVDs.  (with the unexpected consequence that we had to buy a new DVD player in January after one of the disks mysteriously got stuck in the DVD player)

For christmas lunch we went to the teahouse.  This was a lavish buffet

with lots of decorations

 silly hats

a visit from Santa

and face-painting for the kids



After Christmas we went briefly to Japan for new year.   We stayed briefly in Tokyo again then went down to Izu for New Year with Baba and the family.   For some reason I didn't take any photos at all in that trip.
