Random Fun with Daddy

One morning I had to work a short shift and instead of going home Vili called me to meet him and the girls at the mall.  Vili had gotten the girls ready and took them to play at one of their favorite indoor playgrounds at the Provo Towne Center.  We all grabbed a bite to eat at Panda Express and then Daddy took his girls to ride the carousel and then let them ride the coin rides after.  Vili is so spontaneous and is such a fun Dad!  He always takes the kids on random adventures when I have to work and I'm glad I got to join in on this one.  So grateful to have him in our lives!

Birthday Breakfast at Mimi's

One of my closest friends, Cheka, put together an early birthday breakfast for me with some of my favorite people at one of my favorite breakfast spots.  Love them all and so glad I got to hang out with them kid-free.  Kids, I love you but I can't enjoy myself when I take you guys out to eat with me.  It's just not the same.  Lol!  I'm sure they would say the same about their own kids.  Crazy how long we've all known each other and how much we've all changed over the years but still remain great friends.  Love you guys and thank you for coming :)

 Here is attempt #2 this Christmas season to meet Santa.  Fail...again!

These were Elina's faces when I asked if she wanted to sit on Santa's lap for candy....

Pacific Generation Christmas Party

Once upon a time, I used to be skinny and fit (keywork: FIT) and dance for a group called Pacific Generation.  Those days are looong gone BUT my friends are nice enough to still invite us to everything.  Lol!  Pacific Generation definitely knows how to throw a party!  We had a potluck, white elephant, activities and movies for the kids, and the kids even got to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus!  I totally thought the kids would be excited to meet Santa this year but NOT!  They were super excited to see him until it was their turn to go sit in his lap.  They both refused to go up.  Major fail.  Lol.  I'm thinking we need to start watching more Christmas movies so they get to know him better.  Hopefully next year!

  

Oh, Christmas Tree!

We let the girls help us put the Christmas tree up this year.  Vili even helped so it was a family affair which I loved.  A stressful family affair but I still loved it.  Lol!  The kids got to hang up ornaments and even ruin some while they were at it.  Lol.  Love my little family and little memories we get to create together.  Here's our beautiful girls with our humble Christmas tree making it's 5th Christmas debut.  Maybe next year Santa will bring me a bigger tree and new ornaments.  Hahahaha!

Baby Lily

I have the cutest new niece ever!  Meet Lily Napualani Samani, our white/Hawaiian baby.  Haha!  It makes me a little baby hungry every time I told her because she is so adorable.  Don't worry....not thaaat baby hungry.  Lol!  I can't believe how little she is and how little all the kids were when they were born.  I wish they would all stop growing :(  Here's pics from when we visited them in the hospital.  Love you Baby Lily!

Elina just had to get her daily self portrait in.  Lol!
