Museum

Today we went to a museum. There was a dinosaur exhibit. Ridge and Holt had a lot of fun! So did Aaron. I hope everyone in Nishiokoppe enjoys their New Year's Day!

Happy Birthday Ridge!

Today Ridge is 7 years old! It's amazing! Also, he lost a tooth this morning. His mouth has many holes. Here is a picture of his cake. He invited a friend to share cake.

Christmas with Cyndi

Cyndi is Aaron's mother. We visited her on December 21, 22, and 23. We exchanged Christmas presents at that time. She gave many presents to her friends and family. These are some of the gifts. Cyndi lives in Arlington (Texas). We must drive 5 hours to reach Arlington. Also, this is Aaron and his cousin. Her name is Lena. She is 26 years old.

Writing a letter to Santa

In America, children often write a letter to Santa. Here are Ridge and Holt. They are writing a letter to Santa. Holt is wearing a Santa hat. Ridge is wearing an elf hat. They are very excited because soon it will be Christmas. On December 21, Ridge's winter vacation will begin. He will return to school on January 7.

Christmas Tree

Tonight, we decorated our Christmas tree. It is a fake (nisemono) tree. It is very tall! Do you like our tree?

Christmas Decorations

My mother enjoys decorating her house. She has many Christmas decorations! These are the boxes she keeps her decorations in. There are 14 boxes!!

The weather was very warm today. Look - Ridge is wearing short pants and a short-sleeved shirt!

Ridge's Bus

Here is Ridge's school bus. He must wake up at 5:45 every morning. His bus arrives at 6:30. His school begins at 7:45. I think it is very early! He must go to bed every night at 7:30. On Saturday, Ridge will now attend a Japanese school! He can practice his Japanese for 3 hours every Saturday! There are some Japanese families in San Antonio. We hope to become friends.

Ridgeは日本人学校と日本語補習校に出席することができます。 彼は毎週土曜日の3時間日本語を実施することができます。 いくつかの日本人の家族がサンアントニオにあります。 私たちは、友人になるのを望んでいます。
