Due to extremely low Covid cases in Japan at this time, we decided to have a full Thanksgiving party again this year. I made all the usual dishes and had a full table of food. I invited my friends and their family, as well as Melina’s school friends. A lot of people from the house also came to take part in the feast.

For mothers day, Melina and I got up early to make her a special breakfast. We made chocolate waffles and a chocolate milkshake with some extra chocolate on the side.

This year due to the pandemic we didnt have a big Xmas party, and instead had a nice quiet but delicious Xmas dinner as a family.

This year we had just a small Thanksgiving dinner with a few other people in my house. I still made a huge turkey and all the usual foods.

For my birthday, my girls baked me the best green melon cake ever!

No big party for Easter this year, obviously due to fears of COVID-19, but we still celebrated as a family. We made Easter eggs, did our egg hunt outside, and made all the traditional Easter foods, just not as much of them.

Nothing too exiting for Girls Day. We made the usual sushi balls, clam soup, and three layer jelly. Melina made the male and female dolls display.
