Tanabata Festival in color

On Friday, we attended a Tanabata Festival near our apartment. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the event.

The view down the street, jam packed with people.

This is my absolute favorite picture from the night! This picture captures Jude perfectly. This is how my sweet boy always looks when he smiles. It just melts my heart!

Reason #28 why I love Japan: awesome festivals for the whole family to enjoy!
