Markie's Shichi Go San（七五三）
Markie's special day to celebrate his 5th year began with baaba dressing him in the special kimono, a valuable antique handed down from jiiji's generation.
A nice shot of brother and sister...
Before heading off to the shrine we took a family shot in the garden...
As with Jamie 3 years ago we went to Iimori Shrine for the celebrations. Being a lucky day and with the weather nice there was a little crowd at the shrine but we did not have to wait too long for our turn.
Inside the shrine he was given his blessing by the priest, the ceremony lasted about 20 minutes.
After the ceremony Markie got a special little lunchbox and some other goodies.
Finally to finish off the celebrations, one photo of all three little ones in the shrine garden.
Congratulations Markie
Congratulations Markie boy!! I like you dressed up, it looks great.
I also love the family photo above.
