finally

ついにリアホナ日本語版を手に入れました！
リンジーとキーナンからのクリスマスプレゼントです。
I got a Japanese Liahona, finally.
It's a christmas gift from the Milonas family.

リアホナ本体に住所と名前が書いてあるので名前を書く手間が省けます！
Our address and name are on the book, so I don't have to label it with my name!


Thanks, Milonas family!

valentine's

JJ's parents sent us a Valentine's gift.









Thanks!

We decided to decorate cookies for each other.











Guess which coookie is made by whom.













up:Kaiko made
down: JJ made





















Yummy!





















Other cookies.











JJ gave me chocolate.
I love American Valentine's because girls give chocolate in Japan.

kaiko's barber

JJ finished his exam.
It is time.

I cut his hair.









How does he look?


It is the 4th time I cut his hair since we got married.

I'm getting better at cutting hair, I guess.

baking bread

I baked bread for the first time.
The Kitchen Aid is so useful!











See?
In fact, I forgot to put mayonnaise on the bread but it tastes good.

I love to bake bread.
I thought "bread is something that is bought at a store" but I can make it!
Being able to make this previously thought only-in-store item gave me a great feeling of accomplishment.

Does Mrs. Butterworth have a mouth?

JJ found something on her face.
"Did she have a mouth or am I going crazy?"











Can you see her mouth?
Yes, she got new bubble mouth now and singing.











Little duet singers.

invite

I baked chocolate cake.
(used Japanese recipe. not sweet for an American......)













We prepared dinner for 4 people.
But we don't have enough chairs so JJ sat on the bed. haha.












We invited the missionaries.
This is the 1st time since we got married.

It's been a historic day!

favorite cake

This is our favorite treat for Family Home Evening.












Just bake 20 minutes in the oven.











Chocolate cake is the best!
