Happy New Year!

by Papa K on January 1, 2014

When Maile was 6 months old we came to Hawaii for the holidays and took a picture of her in front of the kadomatsu (a traditional Japanese New Year’s decoration):

Don't I look pretty in my jimbe posing in front of the kadomatsu?

This morning, Christine decided to recreate the scene this year with Maile and Lauren – and even better, they had a chance to show off the new kimonos that Grandma asked Uncle Steve to bring all the way from Japan. (And yes, if you look close you can see that they have Hello Kitty on them, which pretty much make them the best kimonos ever!)

First Mommy tried to take a picture of the girls together ... that proved difficult.

This appears to be a beautiful picture of Maile Girl, but Lauren is hogging the camera :)

Okay, solo this time - incredible how much Maile has grown, the kadomatsu dwarfed her in the first picture!

We hope everyone had a wonderful new year’s – 2013 was quite the year for us and we’re looking forward to even more adventures and fun in 2014! Thank you for following along – we’ve enjoyed sharing a little bit of our girls as they grow up.
