5th Annual Kodomo Nohi 2009

For the last five years we have hosted a "Children's Day Party (Kodomo Nohi)" It is a chance for us all to get together for some good food and good fellowship. We invite any and all Japanese we know personally or happen to run into during the course of the year. This year was Fantastic as we had lots of new Families join us. We hold the party each year at my parents and Rieko is an amazing Hostess!



An initial count puts the crowd over 100 people. 30 more than last year!



Special Thanks to the Helpers!



It took these ladies 12 hours over 2 days to decorate the cake. They claimed to have work straight through with no breaks....not so sure.... :)



This year we featured a Kids' Talent show with some amazing youngsters.



We were very fortunate to have a Eisa Group (Okinawan Traditional Dancing) come all the way from Atlanta GA to perform for the group. Thanks Guys and Gals!
