T is the Birthday Boy!

We all enjoyed celebrating T's birthday this evening. Dinner of his choice, ice cream cake, and the gift at the top of his wish list...

 All smiles while enjoying that cake!

 C, mastering the knife.

 Make sure you download some games for us dad!

Can He Really be 4??

We've just wrapped up a fun birthday week for C. Our big 4-year-old. We kicked off the celebrations with Mickey Mouse cupcakes and a little party at school on Monday. Then dinner of his choice and ice cream cake on Monday night. He opened his gifts from family and loved all his new, fun things. Proud of him too, that in the days following, as we made space in the playroom for his new things, he was so willing to pass some old toys along to kids who could use them. Such a big boy, excited about new things, and happy to share with other kids too.
Finally, a really fun party on Saturday with some of his best friends at Funarium. We had a silly monster theme. It was a great week celebrating our big boy!

                                      

Our Little Girl is 3!

We are pleased to announce that D has successfully turned 3 years old! Amazing how time flies. We had a super fun party with friends on Saturday afternoon. We played games, shared a meal, and enjoyed a homemade ice cream cake.

The children earned party prizes for participating in the games. They went fishing for little trinkets and took home M&Ms for their efforts at pinning the pigtails on D. Our friends a the local Fujiphoto shop helped out with this game.

Much thanks to all our friends who were able to join in the fun! It's also been lovely to use Skype to share the birthday joy with family back home. This morning, D opened some gifts from her grandparents who were able to watch online.
