We had a fun and exciting Christmas party with our students. They played games, decorated cupcakes (which were actually cups that had cake in them...), and watched a Christmas Disney cartoon.
Here are some of our great students!
One of Ben's students usually comes to class wearing this:
Ben reviewing Christmas words. The hat added to Ben's likeness to Santa. The kids think that because he has a beard, he is, or should at least be called, Santa.
We had a staff Christmas Party just before our New Year's Eve break.
With gifts...
Games...
The person to our right had to draw us for a 'contest'. Though Ben and I were at opposite ends of the table, we each had the honor of being drawn by the owner of our school and his wife. The owner apparently thinks I look like one famous character from Charlie Brown...
Peppermint Patty, anyone???
And the wife, along with every other Japanese teacher at our school, thinks that Ben looks like the Japanese baseball player named Ichiro Suzuki. Thus, the baseball bat.
Do you see the...resemblance?
And, of course, Karaoke.
The ladies of LMC School had a cooking and baking extravaganza. While the boss was out of town, our director's wife, Miya, had us over to her very nice, and big, apartment for a delicious meal. It was amazing food! This fish was absolutely delightful!
I taught some of the girls how to bake muffins and cookies. This is Xhen Ju making muffins...
And Noriko mashing the Bananas for the muffins...
And Noriko and I showing off the finished product!
Delicious!

Love the pictures and the commentary! Rushing to work - will talk to you soon. Much love to you both!
That fish did look quite yummy...minus the eyes and lips, and anything having to do with the actual head. :o)
Go Jen!!! I'm so happy you're getting to do some baking and spreading the good news of muffins and cookies everywhere!!! How do people survive without these things??? I'm sure they survive much skinnier...But you have no worries there. The cupcakes in the cups reminded me of our cupcakes in ice cream cones, btw...
Hey guys, we sure miss you around here! Hope you're enjoying a warmer January than we are. How's the lifting going for Ben? I've been meaning to chat sometime with him.
It would be hilarious to see Ben as a baseball player! And Ben, as nice as you are to help me out with my wish list, you are not the one I want a smooch from. :) Love you guys!
