Omedetou gozaimasu!

Oshougatsu omedetougozaimasu! Happy New Year from Japan... the land of the rising sun!


This year was the first time in four years that our family was together in one place (for a week) so we took the opportunity to take a family picture.  Not very wintery...  With all the animals to be featured the humans play second fiddle.


This morning Tetsu and I went out on our morning walk.  A beautiful clear morning!  That's our local Mt. Nantai in the distance... not Mt. Fuji.


The moon was clear in the sky...


And our first glimpse of the January 1st sunrise in 2013.
 

The frost was still hanging on the bushes...

 Wishing you the best in 2013, from Taniwa!

I wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR from SW Texas. It is New Years Eve here, fireworks are going off & cats are hiding. I hope our goals for 2013 will be completed

Having a photo of you all together is the only important part once everyone is an adult--those kids don't change so much once they are past 18 :) I had to wait until Christmas Day for us to get a photo together so my greetings are late. Tetsu looks great in his new vest, purple and all, and you in your pretty sweater. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I see Tetsu is wearing his Christmas vest, looks good! Definitely love the one you have on. What is the name of the pattern?

Family photo, cats and a dog, snow on the Mountain, frost on the bush, and you and Tetsu wearing the knitted vests. What a wonderful New Year, could not be better. Greetings to you both from NZ, ( Jean).
