Julian's 2013 happy new year with Great-Grandma & Mommy in Japan.
ジュリアンとひいおばあちゃんとマミーで初詣に行きました。２０１３は、のんびり平和な年になりますように。ジュジュは、その前にひいおばあのお手伝い。 ベランダ大好きのジュジュは、朝一番、オバアがベランダに出ると、すぐに付いて出てチビほうきでお手伝い.....?(^ ^ ;

| Learning how to sweep and clean |
 |
| Okay! I got it! Let me do it! |
おせち料理を食べて、初詣にいきました。ジュジュは、お賽銭を入れるのとっても楽しかったようで大はしゃぎでした。縁日で出来たてのベビーカステラ買ってみんなで食べました。
Juju, Great-Grandma and Mommy visited Abiko Kannon Temple for the first temple visit of a new year. It was a beautiful sunny day. We prayed for everybody's happiness and healthy life.

| Lit candles for praying |
 |
| Juju was very interested in the lots of lighting candles |
我孫子観音には、本堂の裏にもたくさんの観音様がまつってあります。そして、一つ一つの、観音様にお賽銭を供えておまいりします。
There are many Kannon Bosatsu (Buddha Statues) behind main the worship hall at Abiko Kannon Temple. We visited each one of them and prayed for our wishes and thanked for our healthy life.

| Juju's a happy dance :) |
 |
| There was a great crowd at the new year fair around the temple |
 |
| Mommy bought her favorite treat; Baby-castella (a kind of mini pancake) |
 |
| The baby-castella was yummy, but Juju still likes a bottle of milk is the best :) |
午後は、ちいちゃん夫妻とひいおじいちゃんのお墓参り。ジュジュは、ひいおじいに肩車してもらったよ。 翌日は天王寺動物園に行くので、今日はちいちゃん夫妻のお家にお泊まりです。
We visited Great-Grandpa's grave for a greeting of a happy new year.
 |
| Juju got a piggyback on Great-Grandpa's shoulder?! :) |
 |
| A Happy New Year! Great-Grandpa! |
 |
| Happy Juju |
