Festival of Lights 2012

We were able to attend the lighting ceremony at the DC temple. It's a wonderful event to begin the season. This year was extra special because Elder Nelson was the featured speaker. Lillie was standing right in front of him when she went up to sing with all the other children.

Christmas comes to the Sakais

With Thanksgiving over we started decorating the house. We just can't wait for our favorite season of the year! The house is not entirely done yet, but here is a sneak peek.

Thanksgiving 2012

Happy Thanksgiving. We had a quiet one this year. Just the three of us. But it was fun. We decorated for Christmas and got ready for December. We enjoyed being together. We thought our dinner looked pretty good for a small party!

Fun with cousins in Hawaii!

One thing Lillie loves when she comes to Hawaii is all her cousins. Here are some of her cousins on the Kauwe side.

Grandma Keamo turned 90 years old this year

All of grandma's family on the Keamo and Kaneshige side came to celebrate. It was nice. Chinese food, a lion dance, great cake and candles! It was all very nice.

Happy Halloween

We went to Annapolis mall. It wasn't as great as we thought it would be. Hardly anyone was giving out candy. Oh well, it was fun to just be together anyway! Daddy also enjoys this holiday very much. It is such a great day to be kind to each other by giving little treats out!

Another great start to the school year

Lillie had brownies waiting for her when she got home from school today. Mother is so nice.

First day of second grade

Can you believe it? Second grade!! Our Lillie is growing older!

15 years!

Can you believe it? It is our 15th wedding anniversary. We decided to spend it at a resort in the country called The Homestead. It was so beautiful. Three days of good food, great fun, and great company. I love my girls, especially the one I have been with for 15 years!

Service

Lillie and daddy helped paint some fire hydrants for a young man's eagle project.
