Great Grandma Keamo

Lillie is so lucky to have at least one of her great grandparents still living. Lillie and grandma really have a good time together. It is so cute to see them together.

Above is a picture of grandma and Lillie at a party for the building where grandma used to live.

Above is a picture of Lillie playing catch with grandma. Lillie and grandma can spend hours playing together. They play catch, play with stickers, and have fun together. Grandma is 87 years old and Lillie is 3. There won't be much time left together, but at least we have these fun memories that Lillie will hopefully remember for life!

Merry Christmas in Hawaii!

We all went to the restaurant at Neiman Marcus for a fancy breakfast with Santa. It sure was a lot of fun and the food was delicious. Lillie isn't quite sure what to make of Santa just yet. Sometimes she is fine with him and other times she just doesn't want to have anything to do with him. For the picture shoot with Santa, we were lucky enough to turn it into a "family picture" for all of us. That was the only way Lillie would take a picture with Jolly Old Saint Nicholas!!

More pictures of our new home!

So the move went really smoothly. We hired a moving company and they had us all moved out of our old home and into our new home in no time. The home we moved into is larger than our old home. There are several additional rooms that we never had. For instance, there is a small dining area in the kitchen and then a formal dining room. There is also a formal living room and then another family area, and there is an additional bedroom upstairs. Because of the additional space, we don't have any furniture yet. Also, in our old home we had built-in book cases, and we don't in our new home, so we need to buy book cases at some point to put all our stuff.

Below is a picture of the open kitchen and the small eating area.

This is a picture of the formal living area. As you can see we don't have anything in there except for our lamps!

Below is our formal dining area. We have the Koa hutch there for now, but no dining table since our dining table we used in the old house is in the kitchen area.

Below is our large family room area. We love all the windows and the open feel to the entire room. Right now we have our old living room furniture in there, but that is eventually going to move to the living area and we are looking for nice family room furniture.

We Are Online Again!!!

We've been busy settling into our new home since we last posted. All is well and we are loving our new home. Luckily we moved into another ward in our same stake, so there was little adjustment to do with regard to the ward. We felt right at home at our new ward's Halloween party. Below are some of the youth dressed up for the occasion.

Below is a picture of some members dressed as the Duke's of Hazzard! They are our good friends Ginny and Tom.


Lillie dressed as Tinkerbell. Here she is with someone from her primary class, Abby dressed as Ragady Ann.

Here is our Tinkerbell with more members of her primary class. There are lots of children in the ward who are Lillie's age, so she will have lots of friends.

And last but not least, our little Tinkerbell. What a cute girl!!
