1st birthday video!

It has taken a week,but the video of Anna's first birthday celebration are up and running. There are two videos. The first deals with a JApanese tradition, 'Mochi motsu'. This translates into carrying the mochi. Mochi is a japanese food that is made from pounding rice into a sticky, glutinous substance. Quite tasty, and heavy. Anna had to try her luck carrying a 2kg mochi ball...see how she made out.





The 2nd video is Anna enjoying her first birthday cake. Interesting stuff for her.

hope that all is well. WE are doing great, and looking forward to the summer. only 2 months to go.

take care all
Anna, Yuko & Matt
