Niki Iro Jean Chicago Visit: At Home Making All American Chocolate Chip Cookies

We had an awesome time when the Television show from Japan visited our home in Chicago.

Welcome Niji Iro Jean! 

This colorful dogs caretakers filmed a fin experience. My nerves were a wreck. I am grateful smell-o-vision doesn't exist. The magic of TV. We enjoyed a full day, nearly 8 hours with this crew. Which turned into 12 mins of tv action.

Camera man waiting patiently for our Chocolate Chip Cookies. And baby girl also waiting patiently.

Coming back from introducing the boys - when they still roomed together. Younger son snuck down the stairs cutting off the camera man. Moments when I felt our home was too small, I remembered the size of things over seas.

Our translator and behind the scenes photographer took candids throughout the day... as did mom, thus the blog and our keepsake book.

Mom and baby girl, resting between takes. Look at that happiness on dad in the background. That was his way of showing how much fun having a full day of taping was making him feel. I wish I took the photo of him throwing his feet up on the couch as soon as they left.

After the visit. We received a gift from Niji Iro Jean straight from Japan. These are designed as the size of placemats. Spray starched and pressed as a placemat. When I washed it the material shrunk down into a hand towel. We still use and love these today.
