birthday morning.

grandma stocked up pastries at LA BOUTIQUE de Joel Robuchon
which turned into my impromptu birthday cake.

it's also been a whole year since i started this blog.

a visit to Tokyo Midtown with daddy and mommy.

we saw a bright blue sea of lights for X'mas this year.

i ended up having a great time at MUJI.

and we ran into (grandma's favorite) Hermès' silk caravan.

the deers totally reminded me of Hokkaido...

or are they reindeers?

holiday holiday.

i caught a mysterious fever last week
and by the time i got better i realized it's almost x'mas!

we made santa boots at daycare.

(polka dot stickers by me)

grandma O brought us baumkuchen in a santa box.

(a new home for all my cars)

mommy pulled out holiday books...

'tis the season to be jolly...

what did you ask santa for this year?

daycare.

,

winter.

a new season, new wardrobe.

adventures.

Sota moved into a new home.

a new home meant new adventures.

so we headed towards the river...

discovering the biggest riverbed!

but still, after all our adventures mommy is best.

sometimes i forget how big the world can be.
