More Family Time

Last night we had a get together for Kaiya's

birthday AND because my grandma thurgood

was in Utah visiting, so we had 2 reasons to celebrate.

I don't know why I didn't think to get

any ADULT pictures, but I sure got lots

of all the kids! the Birthday Girl
Notice who is on the computer.
Grandma and Grandpa made their
weekly SKYPE call just in time to
join in on the celebration.
the kids got yummy cupcakes
and the adults got an even better dessert
(thanks Kar for all your hard work-
it was all DELCIOUS)
here's most of the cousins-just missing a few
who are a bit too far away in CA

the kids are in jammies, and the

older ones got to have a sleep over together

at the Hanamaikai's.

I didn't get a picture of that, but we had

a LATE movie night, followed by

chocolate chip pancakes for breakast,

lots of playing, park time, and shave ice...

and all too soon (for the kids)

the fun was unfortunately over.

They have been wanting to do this

all summer (but with them in Logan,

it takes a bit of planning on the part of

the parents) and we finally made it work!
