party at my house!!

today, we had a party at my house. I wanted nate to meet all my friends and all my friends to meet nate;)

It was really fun. I laughed a lot, and the best thing was that the guys did all the preparation for me!!

today, I got up at around 10:30. nate said the construction workers woke him up. I forgot to mension that to him, but our next door neighbor is building a 6story building right next to us, so we get to wake up to their sweet humming voices everyday......NOT

you hear things banging and old guys shouting!!!!

well, anyways..... we started walking towards kappabashi dori that has a lot of stores that sell dished and wax food samples. we finally made our way through the snow and the wind. Ya. it actually snowed today......nate brought it with him!! how generous of him to share all that fun with us!!

we made our way through to asakusa and did a little more touring. I took nate to all a hundred yen store, and he went crazy!!! we're definately going back there pretty soon;)

the party was scheduled for 6pm, but Takeshi and Hiroshi came at 4 to help us. so the 4 of us went out shopping for sushi stuff. It was great! I had the  guys carry everything!!

anywayz..... we made the sushi rice and started stuffing rice in bean pouches when Mizuki came. she was ON TIME!!! she helped the guys cut the fish and prepare the meal.

nate told me it was a fun party even though he couldn't understand more than half of what was going on, so that made me really happy!!


momoko, saya, aya, hiroshi, yumiko, jun, yuri, nate

takeshi, tempei, mizuki, yushi

nate's here!!!!!

hello.

it was past 4 when I saw nate coming throught the gate at narita airport.

yes, my people, my friend nate from ogden is here and I'm really excited!!!!

first off, we went to my parents' office only to walk home with my mom.

after that, we took a walk to asakusa, munched on sweets and finally went into a sushi bar. (one of those that I could afford going into ;)

there nate and I got stuffed with fish. came home and watched tv and spaced out. nate was totally out of it. I just saw him off to bed and I'm thinking it's time for me to do the same as well.

good night kidz!!

Super Bowl XLII

whatever number that is　↑ it's too big for me to read!!

poor boyz had to put up with us girls watching this fabulous game..;)


 



the whole family was there watching this year. My dad, mom, bro Keita, Yushi and I. Keita had to leave at 7:00, but that was okay. he doen't like it when we scream at the TV anyways....

the re-run of the game started at 6:30 at night, so we ate dinner in the living room(this doesn't happen often, especially when dad's home ;) we had nachos, hot dogs and hambergers. and o ya, some chips too. the Hatches left some Salsa for us, so we gladly had it for dinner tonight.


we had little America going on here!




This year was the patiots vs the who???? o ya, the giants.
pop-corn!!!!!!
dad burnt the first batch, so mom had to hurry and make the second one;)
↓ this is me smushing delicious pop-corn into Yushi's mouth! yummy!!









let me tell ya, me and my mom were all for the patriots. we were SOOOOO sure we were the winners....

we didn't like how the game started off at first. I mean, 3-0 to the giants? you gotta be kidding me. the patriots haden't lost one stupid game in the whole season. there is nooo way they're gonna lose.



mom had to change positions with dad case everytime someone would make a pass, dad would reach out for the pop-corn and block mom's view. she was pretty mad;)



they were ahead by 4 points up to the last 2 minutes. I must admit, Brady was getting a little slippery, but who would've thought it would come to an end like that!!! it totally was a pooping moment for me and my beloved mother, but o well, I think I would have to say it was a pretty good game. they had us believing the patriots would win up til then.

GOOD GAME GUYS!!!
