A few months ago Mama and Uncle Edgar went to Uncle Saichi's Kapalakiko I Ke Aloha Fundraiser in Newark, CA. Mama said it was a fun filled evening.<

This is the lei that Uncle Edgar gave to Mama. Isn't it purrrrty!!!

Well I'd like to share with you some photos taken in 2013.

Birthday Present 2013

My chan chan ko jacket keeps me very very warm. Mama says I look good in pink.

Actually the pink one was on sale. Mama sucka for sales ya know.

Thanksgiving 2013

Mama said I looked like a turkey waiting to be basted. The nerve.

Christmas 2013

Christmas present from Mama. My new cool satin (yes satin) embroidered jacket.

Another year being loved by my Mama. Life is good.

WHOA Dat is a Big Bear

Whoa what dat Mama???

Dat be Kuma-chan. My cousin so Mama says. He's Uncle Roji's new baby boy.

Yup BABY. He is only 1-1/2 years old.

Kuma means Bear in Japanese. And he's one BIG BEAR!!!

Look at his paws....

Aren't they HUMUNGUS!!! I can fit 3 of my paws in there.

I must admit I was a bit scared at first, but I got use to him. He's so big how can you not notice him anyways.

Kuma checked out my living room bed but figured out himself that he could not fit into it.

Instead he sprawled out on the couch and even that was a bit small.

Kuma-chan is a good boy and he'll be coming over from time to time again.

Oooh Mama got to take my Jiichan to the World Baseball Classics at AT&T Park to root on Team Japan. Unfortunately they did not win, but they got to be part of a once in a lifetime event not only for San Francisco, but for Jiichan. Here he is proudly singing the Japanese anthem...

Is Mama carrying a Baby???

OMG I saw this picture of Mama carrying a baby!

I was thinking when did this kid come to our home!!!

How could this have happened without me knowing??

I started to panic!

I thought for sure I would become second fiddle to that little person.

Then Mama showed me the next photo...

My BAD, it was moi heh-heh.

Mama reassured me that I AM THE ONLY BABY in this household.

Droooling Over Madelines

Mama was teasing me cause I was drooling over the Madelines. Mama's FaceBook friends know that I just love meez some Sugar Bowl Madelines.

Anyway back to the teasing...she got me on film again. This time with some drool coming out of the corner of my mouth.  I can't help it Mama. You're the one who always wipes my drools for me.

I know you'll laugh. I'm already red with embarrassment.




BTW Santa's UPS Elf Man delivered Tubby & Bonanaza's "Chilly Dog" sweaters today.
Uncle Will Lee (he's a photographer) will be doing a fashion photo shoot of the 3 of us. I'll let you know when and where.

Santa's Gift Has Arrived!

Santa sent an elf named UPS man to deliver my Christmas gift cause he caught a bad cold at the tail end of his deliveries on Christmas eve.

What dya think?



I just love it.

It's very warm ya know.

Uncle Kyle (Tatsumoto) I really do love my clothes.

I know it sometimes doesn't look like it, but I do!

Thank you Santa for my new Chilly Monkey Sweater. I hope you feel better soon!

Tubby & Bonanza's Mamas (Aunties Pat & Leah) thought it was really cute too.

Mama asked Santa if he can send his elf UPS man one for them too.

We'll be sporting them in Jtown soon. Look out for us.

3 Little Monkeys all dressed in brown, trying to get to heaven on the end of kite,

but the kite string got broken so they all fell instead of going to heaven they went to....

JTOWN!!!

OH and a Happy New Year to you All!

Merry Merry Xmas!

TODAY IS CHRISTMAS!!!

I got lots of presents from Santa and all my aunties, uncle & cousin today...

First I got the "Men in Black" Frank bobble head from Auntie Karen!!
It's a collectible Mama says. Aren't I a collectible too Mama?



Second Auntie Denise & Cousin Kalli game me some yummy snacks and a tree filled with little squirrels! Reminds me of a real squirrel that lived in Golden Gate Park named Charlie.

 

I smelled them first to see if they were real.



Mama they don't smell like Charlie!



I went ballistic and accidentally took off one of their hats.



And of course Mama and Dad thought it was funny to put on my head!

Auntie Angel & Uncle Geary gave me even more toys!
I like this one Auntie Angel. He makes crunch crunch crunch noises.

Mama and I re enacted Mary and Baby Jesus.

HEYYYYYY I am a good baby Jesus!!

The Horikiri & Lowe families want to wish you all a Merry Merry Xmas!

P.S. Baachan and Jiichan says メリークリスマス！

P.S.S. Mama said Santa & Rudolph forgot to drop off a sweater that Mama requested. Santa is going to come over again next week. This time in a UPS truck. Whatever that is.
