Cherry Blossoms - night

The cherry blossoms have started to bloom and since it's such a short window and usually around Spring Break time when we tend to be traveling, I'm always happy that we get to see it.  Last night after a birthday party, we drove to Miyufuna garden in Saga to see the blossoms lit up at night.  We've been at this same park with my parents for Fall foliage and later in May for Azaleas.  It's beautiful only not sure what type of camera settings are best....  Nonetheless Morgan and Bella are gorgeous in any light and blurry!  :-)

Sock Hop Party

The girls celebrated completing all their cookie sales with a sock hop party.  Their troops bought their outfits, and the party was at Galaxies.  They played lots of Grease songs and put the words up on the big screen for the kids to sing along.  Both Morgan and Bella won their age hula hoop contest and came home with an extra box of thin mints.  They also played the electric slide and most of the moms got out to dance.  It was fun!

Girls Day in Japan

The base does a great Girls Day in Japan with a few sweet ladies that volunteer their time, kimonos and hair accessories to get the girls dressed up.  Here are a few photos of my gorgeous girls.
