Bye bye 2011, hello 2012! Here are great memories from 2011 winter holiday!

I went to skating the first time in my life! At first I was holding on to the railings but soon I was able to skate freely.
I also took a 4-day skating lesson and I learnt to do a few things.
Skating properly
Bending your knees
Turning
Jumping
Spining
It was a nice experience and I enjoyed it a lot. I recommend this 4-day course to beginners who don’t know the real feeling of skating. Thus, If you join this course, you get 4-day free skating rink entry!
(To ones that want to go,visit Akarenga!)

Here is my father cutting roast beef. This picture was taken on the 27th December, my family’s gathering celebrating Christmas.
During this dinner, there were a variety of food. It was almost like a buffet! I had lot’s of fun there.
Every year, I look forward to this gathering because we get to exchange presents. And so was I last year. The presents this year were…
Sponges and soap
Hand Towel
Etc.
I had lots of fun. I am looking forward to the next gathering too!

I have a new friend in my house! This is a Sakura branch. My parents seemed to like it so they bought it. These days, the flowers started to bloom! They are very pretty!
It’s a rare experience to see Sakura so close! Trust me, they are very pretty!

I bought this two small key chains at a shopping mall called Lazona!
The shop is Sunhouseki. In this shop, they sell really cheap stuff that are really cute!
These figure key chains are called Hoppechan and they already have a fan club!
