We got a box from Japan a few days ago

Little girls and their toys

The 'kids' who are too little for taco soup had cheese porridge.

A meal with some of our food sent from 3000 miles away

 

The bottled teriyaki sauce is YUMMY!!  Gunna use that before making my own with the mirin.

We used the somen noodles this time. 

YUMMY!!!!!

THANK YOU KRIS!!!!!!!

It was Christmas a little late around here.  Gifts from our pen-pals in Japan arrived today!!!!

Oh my we were soooooo excited!!!  There was another box which arrived a few days ago too.  It contained FOOD!!  Noodles, sauces, 'crackers,' cookies and candy.  Can't wait to try them out!!!!

Today's gift box contained toys/games/puzzles/folders/coloring books/FUN erasers and candy.

Samurai and maiden nesting dolls.  As I type this they are currently in battle...

Nerf  'hot potato' game. FUN!!!!!

Puzzles!!  One is a village nearby Mt. Fuji, 2 other village scenes (with pieces so small I don't know if we're going to be able to SEE them let alone get it together!!) and one is a world map.  That'll take us some time! LOL

A game called "Fundex Mexican Train Game."  Never heard of it but it looks fun!

Additional pieces to the set Sophie was sent last year.  As you can see Kris, we had to build an addition and porch to the house she already had... rotflol!!!

Here is the mama's handy method of carrying all her kids... (can you see the mushrooms in the foreground they're going to pick? The corn field and river for fishing are down the lane...)

Thank you soooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!
