Sendai Christmas

Sorry it has been so long since I posted. This was written in December, but apparently not posted...oops!

Today is my first day back at work, but I have been working all break. Luke and I spent our vacation time working on our next video game instead of traveling so that we could make money instead of spending it!

But we did take a mini break to go to Sendai for three days. We left on Christmas Eve and returned the day after Christmas. It was nice to get out and enjoy the city life for a little bit.

Found a great bagel place and had Mexican food for Christmas dinner! Yes, I am from Texas and missed that Mexican food! Pretty good.

A few other random pictures and a model at an underwear store...not too sure about her!

Gospel Town Christmas

I snowed pretty hard Saturday and into the night. Jo was not able to make it to church because she didn't feel comfortable driving in the snow but maybe she will make it next Sunday. The day was still very beautiful and by late morning some of the snow started to dive in huge lumps off the tall pine trees everywhere.

Parking lot at Gospel Town

The church was absolutely beautiful layered with a fresh blanket of crisp white snow.

The Choir sang and got the congregation motivated! They even had everyone sing in English for one verse of a Christmas carol (of course I cried!)

Then after we all ate a big Christmas meal (Japanese style) together.
I helped, while Luke took pictures!

Apparently this is the face I make if you call my name and catch me off guard!

An even more embarrassing face.

As food starts to fill the table we gather to eat. So many different kinds of food. Yes those are pigs in a blanket! I didn't get to eat one but just knowing someone made them put a big smile on my face. The food was exceptional.

And then we played a game, well Luke and I watched but...It was a cross between telephone and charades! Awesome and hilarious!
