Scrapbook Day 12/15/15

Scrapbook day for December fell on a Tuesday, the day after our trip to Disney. To say the kids were tired is an understatement. Mama had her sitter and did some errands at the local mall trying to start on Christmas gifts. The K Man had a short day at youchien and took a nap in the afternoon. Miss M had a regular day of homeschool. We did not make our normal play date in the afternoon as the kids were wiped, as was mama. Miss M and Mama went to BSF while daddy and the boys bonded. It was a normal regular Tuesday. The pictures below are of some fun milestones for our family. The K Man is riding his bike now without training wheels. In Tokyo, when you get a kid to bike everywhere with you, you feel like you have reached a huge milestone and have endless freedom with transportation. We biked up to Ginza as a family, about two miles one way, and he did fabulous, never complaining. We looked at the store window decorations for Christmas, had lunch at a favorite restaurant, picked up the violins oji-chan and mommy-chan gave us (they needed some repairs since they have been around since daddy was a kid), and did a little shopping. The kids biked home and we only had one bike accident about 2 minutes from our house. He is also biking to soccer now and the view on the way is pretty spectacular as you can see in the pictures below. Also, below, is a picture of Miss M's latest creation from art class. She spent the month of December working on this log house with snow on top. She did a fabulous job. I so wish I had found this class sooner as it is a perfect fit for her. Enjoy some recent pics of our family.
