In Japan people say "Kanpai!" in the same situations you would say "Cheers!" in the US. At Disneyland recently my wife, kids and I all raised our glasses of lemonade and mint juleps and shared a "Kanpai!"
My 7 year old apparently enjoyed it, because at church yesterday he stopped me from drinking the sacrament water and whispered "Kanpai!" and knocked sacrament cups with me . He's gonna be alright.
Kanpai!
Kanpai!

Re: Kanpai!
Let me know when this special experience gets a proper write up in the next issued the "Friend" magazine.

Re: Kanpai!
Super cute! To me, that is more of a spiritual experience than the Sacrament in and of itself!

Re: Kanpai!
Perhaps you could make a toast with the sacrament bread.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Sounds like some fun family memories! Keep it up!
