Three Reasons to Celebrate!

May 5th is a very busy day...it's Children's Day in a Japan that provides a day off from work and school, it's Cinco de Mayo in Mexico but for some reason some Japanese think they should celebrate it as well, and it's Mika and Yuka's birthday (they're cute twins!). For their 22nd birthday, we celebrated all three events with Mexican food, print club pictures, and ice cream! Me with the birthday girls, Yuka and Mika!! Our cups are suppose to be the colors of the Mexican flag but I think the middle color of the flag is white, right? MEXICAN FOOD!! It was pricey, but it was soooo yummy!! Yuka, Shiona (with another classic Shi face), Koni, and Maya! Then we did Print Club, where you get in a photo machine, take pictures, and then can decorate the pictures yourself with writing, hearts, stars, just about anything. Then the pictures get printed really small and they're stickers. It's really popular to do here. Here's Kaori holding up a few of the Print Club pictures. Me and Shi trying to look like the girls on the Print Club machine. The girls looking at our Print Club pictures, and Yuka jumping in front of the camera. Yuka and Mika with their birthday presents...earrings with their initials. And to top off the night...ICE CREAM!!! The saying is that every Japanese woman has two stomachs...one for dinner and one for dessert. I do believe that is true for me, too.

Well Katie, people might be inquiring if you were single if you could make some decent origami. I mean, come on, those fish look like whales!

p.s. It was not I who asked if Yuka was single, I like redheads.

What if I was interested in a Christ-based relationship with Yuka? Is there anything wrong with that?

I have no pictures of Shiona just smiling. Pictures of her getting her tongue as close as possible to a plate of cookies without touching? Check. Picking her nose? Check. Pursed lips? Check. Twenty gazillion where she went mad with my digi cam? Check. The classic mega-frown-Sho-face? Check. The woman's insatiable. And that's why we love her!! Glad to see she's carrying on tradition in Japan :)
