The Krebs Family: from Japan

Posted by Misty on July 28, 2008 – 9:30 am

Eli loves a set of nesting dolls that Stephen’s mom has. So when I saw a set of Dharma Dolls in Japan, I knew it was the right gift to bring home for Eli.

As Eli was playing with them one day, he began telling me of his adventures in Arkansas. While he was staying with my mom, she took him to my college roommate’s house for a visit. So he named his dharma dolls after the Krebs family.

Red=Mr. Brett
Brett, he so wanted the red one to be Missy and the pink one to be you! I changed his mind… You’re welcome.
Pink=Miss Missy
Orange=Grace
Yellow=Morgan
Green=Lydia

He calls them his Grace, Morgan, and Lydia dolls and carries them everywhere. Missy and I joked after he was born that maybe we should go ahead an arrange a marriage between him and one of the girls early. If the amount of time he spends talking about them is any indication, I don’t think he’s going to have a problem with that.

    Very cute. And the furigana just makes it cuter.

    The girls and I LOVE the Japanese Krebs. We are so flattered. Lydia keeps pointing at the tiny one saying “Dat me!” We can’t wait for Eli & Liza to come back.

    I bought these same dolls for my kids in a shop in Kyoto. They broke them :( Any ideas where I can buy then on the internet?
