Happy New Year 2009

A Japanese New Year decoration--our SHIMENAWA displayed at the front entrance to prevent "evil spirits" from entering the house.
I missed the first sunrise of the year! I woke up late already (what's new anyway!) since I slept almost 4:00 am already! Wheeew, not a good start ^-^;
I soon prepared our New Year dishes for our traditional New Year celebration at home.

Our OSECHI RYOURI, traditional New Year's dishes with OZONI, a Japanese soup containing mochi rice cakes.
Family pictures without lola. She's included in the pictures but I was forced to cut her due to bruises on her face after she slipped and fell down 3 days ago. Poor lola... she looks like panda now! 'hoping she get well soon. Every year... Lucky joined our celebrations... we don't want to miss it... so Sachan brought her photo and offered Lucky's fav... kamaboko-- minced and steamed fish! ↓ We also offered foods to altars of our departed loved ones like to lolo... ... and not to forget... our Lucky!
Happy New Year to all! More blessings and good luck to all of us!
KOTOSHI MO TANOSHIKU, GENKI DE GANBARIMASHO!
KORE KARA MO... YOROSHIKU ONEGAISHIMASU!
