Yukata

[instagram.com profile] sashagee's grandfather fought in the war and while stationed in Japan, met a woman and they got married. They later had a falling out and divorced and she returned to Japan, leaving her daughters behind. He remarried, to a woman ~15 years his junior, and that woman was [instagram.com profile] sashagee's grandmother, but it means she has several half-Japanese aunts who are much older than her other aunts. I haven't met any of them, but one of them send us a present:

An actual smile caught on camera!

Looking up at the jellyfish decorations left over from her birthday.

In the middle of doing what she calls "the jellyfish dance".



It took some coaxing to get her into it--the first time [instagram.com profile] sashagee tried, she wanted nothing to do with it--but when she was told she could keep on her pink "pretty dress" and the yukata would go on over the top, she was all in. She's definitely in a girly girl phase.
