Christmas Party

We had a Christmas Party yesterday for the kids at our school, as well as some of the kids that Trevor teaches on his own.
We took them to a small amusement park, perched on a hill overlooking Okayama. The kids all had a great time, and Trev, Sara and I kept getting hauled onto rides with them that they weren't big enough to ride by themselves. I must've been on the roller coaster 10 or 15 times.
After a couple of hours of rides, we got everybody together (about 40 kids with about 30 parents), and we had the kids make some Christmas trees, followed by some cake that my Japanese boss's sister made. After that we played a game, and then Santa (aka Trev) made a visit and gave everyone presents.
The three boys in the first picture with Santa, Tomotaka, Kosuke, and another Tomotaka, are in one of my Monday classes together. The girl on the merry-go-round, Haruna, is in another class of mine.
