Seika Art Festival

This event is always a lot of fun for us because C gets so excited to show us what he'd been working on at school! This is the year of the horse so there were a lot of horse crafts and pictures around. 
This horse that he drew for this toy/craft was pretty awesome!  

Our family that he drew before Cookie. 

Beginning of the year vs now




This was a piece that the Kindergarten class made
Granny and the boys!

The school was cold so we stayed bundled up!

Sapporo, Hokkaido


Well, it was on our must-do-before-we-leave-Japan list and this was our last chance so we picked up warm clothes for everyone (including one month old Cookie!) and hopped on a 2 hour flight out of Tokyo to the winter wonderland of Hokkaido!

Our hotel was right next to Shin-Sapporo station
It was suuper cold there, but the boys could not have possibly loved the snow and cold any more than they did!

All bundled up
Pizza and pasta for dinner
We relied on taking the train to get around and it was super convenient and easy. My boys surprised me by being so flexible and energetic even after spending hours walking and riding around. Here are some of our favorite pics!
