We celebrated Kellan turning 2 again in Feb. while we were visiting in TN. Aunt Gail made a fabulous airplane cake and all the cousins came down for the party. You can really see the excitement in his eyes as the cake is being presented.

Kagura from Oct. 2008
We went to a lot of Kagura performances last fall and Jolon, especially, really enjoyed them. Here we tried to reenact a performance in our living room. Jan is the snake and Jolon is the samurai figure who defeats him.

Making things
Jolon is really interested in making things from paper. One rainy day we decided to make the sun, moon and stars which he mainly cut out. Last night he saw a rocket in a book we were reading, and he and Jan decided to make one. Jan did the bottom part and Jolon created the beautiful spire. Also, for Boy's Day, Jan helped the boys make some paper carp flags.

Park with friends
Great weather this past weekend. We went to a park with friends from hoikuen and instead of playing on the playground equipment we found the kids had wandered over to the bushes in one corner of the park and were playing pirates. They got filthy playing in the dirt but had a lot of fun. It was such a nice day that we came home and decided to take our little Japanese tabletop bbq to our local park for dinner. Chicken, hot dogs, vegetables, and even leftover pizza. yummmmmm
Chef Kellan
Kellan had his first experience cooking at school last week. One of the girls in his class, Yui, was moving to a new city, so for her last day they cooked okonomiyaki for her. Okonomiyaki is a savory pancake with cabbage, pork, and noodles inside. Not exactly sure how much the 16 kids could do around a couple of hot plates, but at any rate, Kellan was very excited to try on his apron and bandanna the night before. We started him off in the red apron from Cristie and Allison but as it is still a little big, we ended up sending him in the littler blue one. Jolon was excited for him and helped out by tying the bandannas and aprons all by himself.
