Happy 2015! The girls were a little sniffly and under the weather the week of Christmas, but were feeling better afterwards… but I ended up catching whatever they had, which really worsened around New Years Eve! It was not the ideal way to kick off the new year, but I’m grateful I could spend it with my family and get enough time to dedicate to rest and recovery!

Oshogatsu dinner
Thankfully, my being sick didn’t really affect my appetite, so I could enjoy this delicious Oshogatsu dinner of temaki-zushi.

 

Mirei poking Asher
Ted & Elisa brought their dog Asher over, and Mirei kept trying to poke him.
