Meet Santa's newest elf. His main jobs are cooing and being cute, but he also manages to get in a lot of drooling and burping.
<
He also likes to ride around town trying to spread Christmas cheer, but the folks in my neighborhood are becoming increasingly hard to impress and he failed to cheer anybody up today. No kawaiis, no old ladies slowing down to take a peek, no shopclerks fussing. No smiles, not a single head turned. Jeez, what do I have to do to impress these people- have him ride around on a reindeer? (Note to self: order reindeer for next year.)
everyone was trying to avoid stealing that awesome snowflake fleece from your baby!!
*tries to figure out how to get to tokyo and back in one night. maybe if i stay up and wait for santa?*

He is still the centre of attention here. It was a year ago that we first heard about Shuma, in a very tiny hint :-)
It is clear that this has been a wonderful year for you. I hope the coming year brings more wonder and joy to you and the two most important men in your life.

I enjoy reading your blog as I find the Japanese culture interesting. You are a good writer and I love the photographs. I wish you and your family a happy New Year!
