In Japan, Girls have a "shichi-go-san" celebration. "Shichi" means seven, "go" means five and "san" means 3. So, at ages 7,5 and 3, we celebrate the year in a special way. Japanese families usually dress the girls up in traditional Kimono and go to shrines or temples and pray for good luck for their child. This was considered important in the times when infant mortality was very high, appearantly. As we are Christians, we just dressed up and had Kasey Erika's picture taken. She really enjoyed this. She had to have her hair and makeup done by professionals, first (These pictures were taken by Tomoko and I, not the pros. If we get the real picture scanned, I will try to get it on here.
