On Saturday, we went to Macy's to complete our registry. I'm still trying to figure out what the saleswoman did, but I'm pretty sure that it was in our favor. Then, we went to hang out with Ellen in her hotel room. Guess we're getting old because we considered that a night out.
On Sunday, we helped to celebrate Maika's ShiGoSan (7-5-3.) It's a Japanese children's celebration. Though Maika is not yet 3, I guess she's 3 by the lunar calendar. I guess the girls get to celebrate being 7 and 3 and the boys celebrate being 5. I don't really understand the significance, but I enjoyed seeing all the little girls wearing their little kimonos. When I was in Japan last year, I accidentally witnessed the same event at the Meiji Shrine. I have all these photos of little kids in their kimonos. They were just so cute. Maika was getting lots of attention in Japantown too. Poor little thing got nervous in the room full of kids and adults, but calmed down once the ceremony started. Of course, I think that candy helped too. :) We took about a hundred photos and we'll post a few. We're still getting the used to the new camera that we just bought- Canon SD800. Love it. The old camera worked fine, but we wanted more megapixels and the ability to create videos that were longer than 4 seconds.
