Japanese Birthday for Ben.

We threw a little Japanese themed party for Ben's 2nd birthday. We all love sushi, and anything Japanese.

Matt taught the kids how to make sushi using the susheezi (very non-traditional of course!!).

Dave and I decorated the store bought slab cake with Sushi we made using LCM bars, lollies and fruit leather.

Sarah did a sushi craft with the little ones.

I bought a couple of sushi platters which were yummy!

The birthday boy wearing his outfit Dave bought him in Japan. These may or may not actually be PJs?? But who cares, he looked the part.

I decorated these noodles boxes with origami cranes. Origami is my new favourite hobby!!

I found these great wind-up sushi toys at Yoshi Jones to go in them, along with a few lollies.

Can you believe it? My little man turned 1 last week.
He is such a sweety and totally adored by his older brothers and sister, and of course his mummy and daddy.

We made a second school holiday trip to IKEA last week and picked up a few of these wooden magazine holders. I find the cardboard ones don't hold up very well.

Sarah gussied hers up a bit...
