Big Boy!

Jackson is asleep for his mid-day nap. I am organizing his gifts and decorations for the big birthday weekend!

Friday we will take an assortment of bakery sweets to "Daddy's" office (no cupcake anywhere to be found in Tokyo...). Friday night we will go to Teppanyaki for Jackson's first birthday! This is a tradition for Eric on his birthday, and I guess we're starting it for Jackson. He loves Chicken, and he loves the chef's undivided attention, so it will be fun! It's also only about a block from the apt, which is nice.

Saturday is the day! I am assembling a cake. No oven here, so I will buy a chiffon cake tomorrow from Takashimaya, and ice/decorate myself. There of course will be gifts as well. The girls from the front desk (of our serviced apt) will come up to cheer on their little friend. Hiroshi (Eric's work mate) ordered a traditional rice cake, and will come over to help celebrate! He's going to show us how to make bean paste and rice cakes? Then who knows.

Sunday we will go to the aquarium and have a quiet family day. I can't believe he is going to be ONE. *sigh* :)
