Japanese Christmas

Last week our friend Masa and Madoka invited us over for dinner and a gift exchange.


Kicked it off with some fruity sparkling sake. Delicious.
Then we got out the real sake...it was the best I ever had but sometimes it is hard to get past the initial nail polish remover smell...
Assortment of sake glasses.
I couldn't wait to taste those mushrooms....Mmm
A traditional Japanese meal. A crock pot type meal. Tofu, chicken, mushrooms, cabbage, carrots, broth. After we ate all the good stuff and all that was left was the broth, they add rice and egg to the mixture and we eat some more!
Snap peas. A super healthy and yummy appetizer.
I love the little bird chop stick stand. Cute.
Cora got lots of little gifts....
A sheep purse...haha...pretty cute.
She dragged this one around for a while before she opened it...
and found this bouncy ball. She loves it!
Enjoying one of her new presents.
Playing the fishing game.
This is how you do it!!
Peter reading to the girls
Peter would read in English and then Masa and Madoka would translate.
The girls fell asleep! Too much reading. Poor things. It was like school for them!
