Presents from Miffa

The ever adorable Miffa sent us gifts again!

Introducing ~ PilotJ! She piloted the parcel to us!

9J and PilotJ

New Member of our Family!

Today is so exciting!  We received an unexpected package from Miffa, and in with it came a new member of our family ~ Takeshi Ichiban, aka GreyJ!

He came all the way from Japan (Miffa & co. are visiting their friends, the CafeMiffy bunnies, there) and is immediated welcomed into our little home.  9J and the other bunnies are quite curious of his special stance (as you can see in the pictures below) and color.

Welcome again, GreyJ,  we’re sure to have lots of fun together!

Christmas presents from mom

These are my Christmas present from mom.  She didn’t prepare it beforehand, but bought them when we went shopping today (Christmas Day) at Sogo Department Store.

More information on Fukubukuro.

A Miffy activity book with DVD

A “fukubukuro” bag, which included a lot of Miffy-themed odds and ends.

These are the goodies inside the bag.

Thank you again, Miffa!

Miffa’s other package to us arrived today.  It contained Spanish cured ham!

Many varieties of ham, plus turron

The package has Miffa’s likeness on it.

Thank you, Miffa!

We finally received Miffa’s big Christmas gift!

There are:

1. a bottle of brandy
2. a bottle of red wine
3. a bottle of Damm beer (the beer of Barcelona)
4. a can of Mahou
5. a can of (Spanish) San Miguel
6. two blocks of turron, a traditional Spanish Christmas dessert
7. and of course, Mateo, who is Ramiro’s brother.  He comes to be 9J’s teddy!

I love how Miffa “staple” the pages together with a safety pin!

Thanks again, Miffa!

What a nice surprise!

Hello everybody! This is 9J and I’m super happy today!

My friend Miffa has sent me a surprise package, YAY!!!

Inside, there are:

1. a new member of our family, who’s a bunny in a yellow outfit. Anita thought long and hard but still could not come up with a name, I told her to “sleep on it.” Maybe it’ll come to her tomorrow;
2. a postcard made out of wood;
3. a magnet with a picture of a Kiwi bird
4. a Teko Teko carved warrior to “protect all the ‘Js’” in the house.

Ooh, thank you Miffa very much! I will treasure these great gifts!

Who could have sent it?

I listened, but no sound came from the box.

What a surprise! A new member of our bunny family!

“Hello, there!” “Hallo! Ik ben Nederlands.”

The new bunny came with gifts.

Here she is with the rest of our family
