We drove out to Motegi this morning for a surprise steam engine visit for Caroline and Nathan. We had other fun while waiting on the steam train to come around.

Stepping back into feudal Japan for a few hours to learn the process of 餅つき(mochi pounding) with Caroline

Ho Ho Ho and....stuff....

Get ready for Caroline's debut as a background dancer! She did great today.

We conveniently walked 2 blocks to our neighborhood community center for a Christmas party this afternoon. It ended up being a really great experience
