Tokyo Daddy came to visit

Thursday night everyone came over for dinner. I was very excited to have the opportunity to cook for all. I had just bought a new baking dish, and decided to make a quiche from scratch. However, when we have dinner parties, it's usually on the weekend, so as I cook, Dav takes care of Tesla. OMG...cooking with Tesla was next to impossible. Every second counted, and when she napped, it felt like I worked at the speed of lightening. Plus, since I had been sick on Tue/Wed, I needed to tidy up the house. I was just amazed when I more or less had stuff ready when everyone walked in. It was like a race all day long. But...I loved it!

Once settled in, my dad brought out a bag of goodies like a Tokyo Santa. A little something for everyone. Dav got a mini flute that mesmerized Tesla. There was a bowl of tiny items my dad had found/picked up from the streets of Tokyo (watch parts, pachinko ball, and other unrecognizable things). Tesla got a wooden elephant. She also got a bib that is actually an entire shirt in raincoat material, and hasan attached food-catching shelf at the bottom. Perfect for our messy eater.

The kids loved playing Wii, and we got my dad to join in the fun, albeit from the sofa : )
Julia performed a ballet dance that was the cutest ever.

Here are Ian's pics.
