Today, celebrating Japan's tradition for girls that is called Hina Matsuri
or Doll Festival. It is a once-a-year event where Parents celebrate and pray for their daughters' health, happiness and growth. My daughters' Hina Doll was bought by their GrandParents ( my goodness, it's expensive! We won't be spending a 10,000 yen for that doll! ) and it is displayed inside our entrance area. There is a superstition about hina dolls: It is believed that any hina doll display should be taken down soon after the festival day. Otherwise girls might have to wait to get married--- Well, that's what they say but our display here is longer. lol!. Usually it is their Grand Mother who's preparing during Hina Matsuri and she always cook chirashi-sushi ( colorful sushi ) and sweet rice cakes but my daughters doesn't like them and since it's our first time to celebrate since we moved out from their Grand Parents, I decided to cook from their request of food that they love. I bought a Hello Kitty hina- arare ( rice crackers ) and made a cake ( again ), fried chicken, maze gohan ( Japanese Pilaf ) cooked in rice cooker, vegetable salad ( MUST have in every meal ), pork cutlet in stick and a corn soup which is not included in the pics-- they said I have to hurry coz they're starving and they wallop all within minutes!LOL!
Wakaba helped me with those stars and heart shaped egg--- can you see them?! She loves doing those things! ^_^

I was reading your post about their belief that if the hina dolls are not taken down the kids will not get married right away, something funny came to my mind. Kung my anak ako na babae na kasing cute ng anak mo, I will not take down the dolls na lang so they get to stay with me longer. HEHEHE
