O Hanami!

Well, not really...

We didn't have a picnic of beer and snacks in the park, but close enough!

Mommy wanted to take pictures of me in my Sakura (cherry blossom) yukata outfit while the cherry blossoms were still in bloom. She told Daddy "We won't be able to take pictures tomorrow because it's Easter and the cherry blossoms may not be here tomorrow". "Fine", Daddy says, not wanting to leave the house.

Mommy got me ready in my cute outfit that Mommy bought me in Japan...
"bought me in Japan?!?", you think... "When did they go to Japan again?"
Well, Mommy actually bought one outfit for her future daughter... and that's me! She bought it a year and a half before I was even born! (to tell you the truth I thought it would be for my distant future daughter, not my near future daughter!)

We're on our way to the Cherry Blossoms!
I'm already giddy!

Here I am with the white cherry blossoms...
This is in front of the Cherry Blossom Inn.

I'm checking out the Sakura...
Do you like my outfit?

Here I am with Daddy...
A car distracted me!

I was very wiggly...
Mommy had a hard time keeping me still!

Here's a picture of me without Mommy's hands in the way...

Me and Dada!

Mommy finally caught my smile!

I liked touching the cherry blossoms!

We were having a lot of fun!
A couple of ladies stopped to talk to us while we were taking pictures.

Daddy took this picture.
Daddy didn't like this picture because of the telephone wires...
Mommy likes it because the wires add contrast to the blossom's softness.

Can you see the sun peeking through the tree?
Pretty, eh?
(taken by Daddy too!)

Me and Mama.

I love this picture!

I was loving all the attention!

I can reach it!

Looking at the sun...

Looking at the people...

Looking at the camera...

Family picture by Mama!



Mommy went to the grocery store and Daddy and I went home.
He plucked this perfect cherry blossom and put it in my hair.


They're really small, but this one is as big as my ear!


I kept it in my ear until Mommy got home!

While Mommy was at the grocery store, Daddy called Mommy and said, "I'm glad we went out to take pictures with Addi today"... and Mommy gloatingly smiled.
