Merry Christmas!

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself.

~ Norman W. Brooks ~

From our Family to yours, we wish you all a joyous Christmas and a Prosperous New Year!

秋の運度会~ Sports Festival 2011

Our family had a load of fun at Haruka's autumn Sports festival at her school and it'll be her last undokai in kindergarten. My kids Grannies was there with full support (*^o^*)

This year's undokai was different as last year's undokai because we're still dealing with the mess of the radiation and since it's done outdoor,the school decided to make the program shorter to finished in the morning. It was indeed easy for some moms because we don't have to wake-up early and prepare obentou (lunchbox) for lunch but for me it's kinda "kulang".

Well anyway, even though it wasn't like the past undokai everybody had smiles on their faces and enjoyed watching and cheering on their kids. The day starts with the kids marching out, then with a prayer and after that, the undokai begins. Haruka did pretty well on relay race which amazed all of us! I bet she's just too active playing outdoor with some other kids in the neighborhood lol!

I also enjoyed the hilarious ( I mean it!) race with Mommies versus Daddies because we Moms have to wear an afro wig (LOL), remove our shoes and we put on rainboots and pose for a picture then run while the Dads have to wear a kigurumi costume ( sleeping wear party costume), pose for a picture and run. Pretty insane right? But everybody had a good laugh including us lol!

Beside the game, there were also some performances. Here's some of the photos that I've been wanting to share, ENJOY!^_^

Ready..... Go!!!!

Super fast!!

See on the right side,her big sissy is also cheering for her~ 'Gambaree!!' said Wakaba^_^

Haruka chan with her Dad, all smile ^_^

I'd like to share the happy moments that our family had in our 'Bukid ng Tra-la-la' that we're missing soo much and that we're wishing to be back HOME again!! We usually celebrate Our New Year at my PIL's home in Namie but due to high radiation level that can harm our health,we will be celebrating New Year at their temporary home in Koriyama.

We don't have much snow during winter here in Iwaki and the kids loves to go at their Grannies home because they could play snow and they always look forward to it. So bad we can't visit their home anymore...

But well, my husband and I promised not to tell the kids even if it's confirmed already that this month of the 25th, we will take the kids to Sugadaira in Nagano to play with lots a snow!! Can't wait to see the smile on their faces!!^_^

Unicycling

My daughter Wakaba seem to be interested in unicycling when some of the kids in the neighborhood were practicing their own unicycle near the apartment. She was itching to have her own and we decided to buy her one last summer. After she's done with her assignments, off she go to have a practice together with me for at least one to two hours a day. She was eager to learn and I knew she's a challenger and she seem to enjoy it with me ( she said that lol) and Haruka chan. Wakaba rides her unicycle almost everyday and even though she can now ride it herself without my help, she wanted me to see her doing it lol! I'm sharing now this video taken last autumn when Wakaba succeded unicycling for the first time without my help ^_^

Wakaba's proud moments ^_^
