Lillie’s first dance

Lillie has a wonderful time at her first dance. She danced with lots of boys and was really happy with the whole dance. She is such a good girl.

Birthday celebrations

I could not have asked for a better birthday from sweet Kim and Lillie. They took me to my favorite Chinese restaurant to get the famous Peking duck. So delectable. Then we came home to birthday cake and a rendition on the violin and a violin stand to hold my violin and display it. It was beautiful!  This year is off to a great start!!

Family Trio

I asked Kim to pick up the cello again.  We worked on this little trio together.  Not perfect, but pretty good.

Dad has really tried learning to play the violin.  He made a good effort with this piece!

After being away for 3 years, we made it back to Hawaii

We found some really cheap tickets back to Hawaii, so we made an appearance during Thanksgiving.  It was so great to be home.  We sure are very thankful for all our family.  Lillie had a ton of fun.  she stayed with nana most of the time.  She enjoyed time with all her cousins, and when it was time to leave, they were really sad to see her go.  We stayed at a hotel and we enjoyed the pool with family, eating all the local food, and shopping at some great malls!  It was a lot of fun!  We hope to do it again soon!

Lillie plays her violin at her first gig!!

We are so proud of Lillie!!  She and some friends from the ward formed a trio and did a gig--background music for a reception!!
