Hinamatsuri Dolls

March 3 is Hinamatsuri (Girls' Day) in Japan. Since we have 2 girls, we decided to decorate our house with traditional Japanese dolls. A little late to bring out, but we still have over a week and I think it is ok.

お雛祭りが近いので、うちでも雛人形を飾りました。ちょっと遅くなってしまったけど、まだ1週間以上あるし、大丈夫かしら??
I remember I had 3 layered one when I was little. The girls only has first layer, but they are really beautiful. They even have their name written down in stylish wooden plates. (Ellie on right, Julia on left) Girls love their dolls.

エリ、ジュリアとも、気に入っているようで、お雛様を飾ったとたん、エリは大興奮でした。(ちなみにジュリアのプレートは、追加で秀月さんにわざわざ書いてもらえたのです♪)

Now we have Noah this year for Boys' Day in May. We'll have to worry about his Samurai armor very soon...

さて、今年はノアの初節句。五月人形の下見に出かけなければ…。
