My oldest is 7!!!!

Ame had just a few requests for her birthday.

#1 was she wanted breakfast in bed-

donuts and hot chocolate

(great-easy for mom) Kaipo was soo excited to make a card

for his sister ALL BY HIMSELF

(he only needed a little help spelling)

Some presents b4 school
a personalized makeup box
she has given this as a gift to a few
friends, and wanted it for herself
(clay stepping stones that she gets to
design and adorn our yard with)
another request-
roller blades

Dinner of choice...

Daddy made her day, when

he brought her home one last gift

she loved the few changes/additions mom

made to her room, while she was at school

I wrote Ame a personal note that

she got to read at the end of HER special day,

telling her just how wonderful I think she is!!!

I think she enjoyed round one of her birthday-

round 2 is Friday night-she gets to have a friend

over for MOVIE night (since it isn't her friend

party year, this is a simple way she can

still celebrate with a friend). Then round 3

comes Sunday with cousins and family.

That one is a surprise-SHE requested it that way!!
Happy Birthday my one and only special girl :)

Double Shower

These pics aren't very great, but I had

to post a few from the shower for

Haruko and I. We ate AND ate.

Then played some games-

this one they had to guess how much

string to tie around BOTH of us.

The last game, 3 names were drawn

from a box of all of our names, and the

lucky players got to attempt to drink

Fruit Punch from a bottle.

Kuulei was the only good sport to even

attempt to drink it.

of course for the double shower, we had to have
BOY and GIRL cupcakes.

I was very grateful for the necessities I got,

like diapers, bath supplies, onsies, socks, bibs, etc.

It was a fun evening-

GIRL TIME and LOTS of laughs!
