Niji Iro Jean Chicago Visit: Picking out our Christmas Tree, December 1st

As many of us have done time and time again, we prepared to purchase our Annual Christmas Tree. We prefer a frasier fir. My father and grandmother always get this style tree because they said it reminds them of their childhoods in Poland. So I continue that tradition.

When the crew arrived they were all giddy and excited to start filming and exploring the lot themselves.

In between shots, and set ups, they played with the kids running around. Of course we were stressed since the lot is near a busy street. But the crew - and the kids - enjoyed the chase.

This moment is one of my favorites of Jean and Dad. This is the moment, my husband realized, he is Talking to a Puppet!

Of course we prepared a gift for Niji Iro Jean. We wanted to welcome him to America. So mom found a premade set I had to moditfy a lil bit.  I didn;t think we could find more genuine excitement in the day. We put Nijis present under the tree so baby girl could pick it up and hand it over. But she got a little shy so Older son got the pleasure of handing it over. Niji Iro Jean caretakers dressed the little one in her new gift, a red hat, scarf and gloves. Of course I researched to make sure red colors aren't offensive in Japan.

A little behind the scenes magic. Niji sees his present for the 1st time. Nijo received a gift from us as I blogged about here. We learned about Japanese gift giving tradition in our 2013 trip. Here Niji is opening his gift. The box was the size of French Soap.
