Today is Girls' Day - HINA MATSURI



In Japan, today is the day to celebrate girls - all girls. In many public buildings and most homes, one can see a display - elaborate or simple - of dolls; Emperor and Empress, their court, musicians, protectors, and ministers. Another tradition is that of floating straw dolls (hina) down a river or out to sea, the belief being that the dolls will take away all the troubles of the real girls!

We wish all girls NO troubles! Only wonderful blessings!


Abby and her new bubble wand - so sweet!


Piper getting tickled - precious!
