We had fun with Setsubun (the Japanese holiday marking the first day of spring). We got our mask and bean set at Aeon (they had a big display by the bakery). Chris was "too busy" to let us throw beans at him, so the boys and I took turns wearing the oni mask and chasing each other around.

For Lunar New Year, I decorated the tatami room and I tried out some new recipes. The spring rolls and wontons were yummy, the celery salad not so much. The boys were in an antsy mood, so I only got a couple of pictures. After dinner, we did some small fireworks and ate fortune cookies.

We didn't do much for Valentine's. In fact, we actually went out to eat at Obbligato (their chimichangas are amazing but not exactly romantic). I made an angel food cake with strawberries for dessert and that was about it. Low key can be a nice change sometimes.
Alrighty, I've got the Okinawa 10k in the morning so it's bed time for me. Good luck to all the marathoners tomorrow!
