Today is the first day of Spring! …or at least it was on the old calendar. It’s still pretty cold out, –4 this morning.

Anyways, yeah, demons. Those are demon masks for dad to wear while the kids throw soybeans at him. You see, yesterday was Setsubun, more properly called Risshun. There was plenty of bean-throwing, bean-eating, demon chasing, and sushi eating to be had. Fun times for all, and hopefully good luck all around.

What is Setsubun, you ask? I wrote all about it here, so go give it a read.
