New Year with Baba

We had new years at Babas with the whole family.  Hannah enjoyed all the attention.  


We all gave Baba an IPad.  This is Ma-chan showing her how to use it.


As always,  we ate really well.  The tradition at New Year is to prepare food in advance so the ladies can relax and don't have to cook so much.


The bentos are mainly boiled vegetables and mushrooms, fishcakes, and pickles.  Very nice and healthy.


 Makoji-chan made charcoal-grilled rice-cakes on the hibachi.


As well as catching-up on family gossip, it was a great chance to relax


The kids played games on the Wii.


I went for several runs up and down the valley and enjoyed the fresh winter air.  This is one of the temples near Ikadaba.
