a real birthday & a little hula


The girlies (with Nelly) finding shade at Taeja (Kalia's classmates) birthday.
They may also have been feeding chips to the birds...

Kalia's Hula Class

Maya turns 4!
Happy Birthday!!

"We" (I did that for Erik's dad) decorated Kalia's door for
her birthday and Maya liked it- so I think we have a new tradition.
In fact, it's still up, but now the streamers are connected to the bathroom
door and you sort of have to limbo to the bathroom.
No, we don't indulge our children, that really needs to come down soon-ish.

On Maya's actual birthday, she had Ilana come over for a playdate.
I was bored on Maya's birthday.  Ilana came over and then they
went to her room and played and laughed and played.
They did not need me.  I helped them once with a sticker book
and I cut up some apples for them.  I was bored.

Lunch date at Duke's!

Hula Pie!
These two are such cuties, seriously cute little BFFs.
Ilana was on vacation last week, and Maya survived.
I was a little scared, but she survived the week and even
played a little with some friends.  But nothing like having
your buddy back at school.

The Hale

Kalia has taken to packing these bags with shoulder straps,
filling them with things she and Maya needs.
She such a little Mommy- so funny!

While that was going on,
the girls were having a beauty shop in the car.

Papa's visit & a birthday


Papa's 1st night on Maui,
having dinner & drinks at Leilani's

Maya's 4th birthday Party!

The rainbow snacks (it was a rainbow party).

Rocco, Raffi, Maya & Kalia

I was running around so much, I hardly took any photos!
Bad Mommy!

Pinata

We let Maya pick any pinata that she wanted,
there were two different types of princess castles,
a cupcake pinata, she wanted the donkey.
But then she didn't want to break it open.
 

It ended quite quickly.

Maya & Scarlett

Ilana & Maya

Maya was literally waiting around until Ilana showed up
and then ran out to meet her.
It's really her first real friend and the love is completely mutual:)

Fun day!

January 2013


New Year's Eve
This was actually 12am, Maui Time
Yes, the girls were up and banging pots to celebrate.
We had gone to a party, then came home and Erik
was on his way home- so we stayed up until midnight!

Kalia decided to make these cool hand print pictures,
by coloring her sister's hands with non-washable markers.
This is after we washed them.
Maya liked it.

Lunch with Charlotte Marie aka Scarlett Mary
This day it was Kaya (Maya), Malia (Kalia),
Dommy (Mommy) and Maddy (Daddy)

Ti leaves from Erik's plant,
about to make a skirt for Kalia's hula studio photo shoot.

And the finished product- not bad,
if I do say so myself, and I do:)
The model is pretty cute too!

I would apologize once again for neglecting the blog, but that just sounds redundant.

Christmas Eve


Christmas Eve at our place- dinner and then

Alana & Kalia take this very seriously
 

Maya says "more is more",
when I say that "less if more".
