Christmas Eve at our friends house. The boys got matching jammies and so did our girls. Brinlyn is somewhere...
The only picture we managed to get of the matching jammies. We had a great time at our friends house. We had delicious mexican food for dinner and then attempted to make graham cracker houses. Since the humidity is so high here the houses were collapsing faster than we could build them. It was pretty much a disaster but the kids loved eating all the candy.

Brinlyn with her sporting her Hello Kitty tattoo.

The girls before church on Sunday. It was pouring down rain and for some reason we lost track of time so getting ready for church was a little bit of a frenzy. How do you run out of time on a Sunday when you don't have church until 1:00?

A trip to the zoo...

I love these of Brin, Elli and Jade looking into the water. It really makes me miss all the family we have. Oh, and Jade is such a gem. I loved being able to spend so much time with her.
As much as I try to do Elli's hair everyday she is just my rag child. She always looks like she just rolled out of bed. I sure love this girl!
The three girls in action at the zoo. It was fun to have a day out and about with the girls. Everyone thought Jade and Brinlyn were twins. Wow, am I grateful I don't have twins. :)

It's about time...I hope I remember how to do this!

Since I stink at keeping this blog up to date these days, there is no order in doing these pictures. I really wanted to go back and fill in pictures from the time I slacked but since that wasn't happening I figure I will just start from now and continue on. Oh well about the past I guess. :) So, since living here in Hawaii we have hosted two sets of Japanese exchange students for a weekend. It is quite the experience. They speak very little english, their fashion sense is hilarious, they eat crazy nasty food, but it is a lot of fun to have them in our home. Elli just loves having them spend the weekend with us.
While I was trying to do some shopping, Nate had the girls all decked out in these booties. Whatever it takes to keep them busy, I guess.
What do you think about the strips with flower combo? Elli loves all the attention she gets! This is just a look out point we stopped at so the students could grab a picture.
