…in the sun. Mikan-chan loves to use mom’s blanket as her bed for a nap. Oh, how cute your fluffy tummy is! However, your highness, would you please mind closing your legs?

2016 Symbols
StandardThese lovely monkeys came to us in different routes; fluffy one with a red ribbon is from “Arles“, smaller one with golden ears from Fukushima. They take after each other in friendly visage, yet one is made of felt while the other of wooden chips.
Happy Queen?
StandardOur favorite pâtisserie “Arles” serves the best Galette des Rois. We have made it the birthday cake for Mei-Shun since 2012. And it was she who won the fève clearly this year, while she shared it with Shin last year. Oh? Honey, do you celebrate mom, posing with her crown on the table?
Princess Mikan
Cute Guest
StandardHello, Ms. Ladybug. Do you feel warm there? Won’t you join our party on the Christmas tree? You are so fascinating in that black dress with red dots. Just be careful not to enter Mikan-chan’s eyesight.
Welcome Back
StandardThis season has come — you can find Omochi-chan in the warmest living room with a stove. She calls mom to the sofa, asking a hug for a while before going under the blanket. When she is too busy to hold her baby, Omochi-chan appears with her back facing toward mom.
Good to Go
StandardMei-Shun visited her mother’s home. Relaxed on lunch and a cup of tea, they saw a little, brown mouse (a Micromys minutus maybe) climb a grapevine in the garden to approach half-dried persimmons hung from a laundry pole. Although it looked very cute, mom would not like kissing it, put her winter dessert into a net basket. Well, you have already bit some, kid, they are all yours. Bon appétit!
Cute Smile
StandardYes, we know you are the prettiest. Your smile makes mom melt and collapse from laughing knees. Nevertheless, as a lady, please close your legs to hide your … so much a good girl. Thank you for your kind cooperation in this matter.
Back to the Ground
Standard…for horseback riding. Mei-Shun had to cancel lessons three times this month, giving priority to her stage, yet missing lovely horses so much. And this morning, she was fairly felicitous to meet Curly Prince, the eldest guy among more than 100 horses owned by our club. He puts on a thick coat, might be the fluffiest as well. Yes, you are right. It looks winter has already come.
Japanese Culture@holiday
StandardLabor Thanksgiving Day takes Monday this year. It works well for us, since Shin had a business trip to Toyama on Saturday. Working Sunday sounds awful, doesn’t it? Mikan-chan looks happy as well, satisfied with warm arms of daddy.
Don’t Read
StandardNo, I’ll never let mom do it. She ignores me when this floppy one is in her hands. I do not like it. See what happens to him under me. Now I’ve made it. Meow.
Well, thanks and good job, Mikan-chan.
Look at me.
… and my back.
