NEW TOYS
Had to take a picture of these funny inflatable objects. Our girls are so loud right now laughing and, yes, screaming while shooting water at each other.
CHRISTMAS DAY
Half way through opening gifts, Makena could not wait to model her princess dress. Kau'i fixes Rupunzel's "Tangle" hair, and Maile entertains by playing Christmas Carols on the piano.
Started Christmas Eve by going to Hope Chapel at 8 p.m. A great service of hula, singing and praising. The next morning the family comes over and we open gifts which would take about two hours followed by brunch. We thought there was going to be an interruption at this annual event because Marie is showing signs of going into labor!!! She is due any day now.

SANDY IS COMING TO MAUI
We met Sandy February 2005 when we adopted Maile. We stayed at the Dolton Plaza in Hunan. Sandy worked in the restaurant for breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner. There was a mutual feeling that we would be friends forever. We were in China again in 2007 to adopt Makena. Although Sandy moved on with her career, she made time, traveled by train, just to see us again in Guangzhou. At our last adoption Sandy played a very important role. She was like a big sister to Kau`i and they had this instant bond. It was very touching. Long story short, after many tries of getting a visa, she finally received a business visa to visit America! Her last e-mail to me was "Auntie, I only need to pack a t-shirts and shorts right?"

KAI
We e-mailed Esther back and forth last night and then we got an e-mail from our daughter Kai. She said she received our gifts and "thank you." One thing she wrote was really cute. "Dad, mom I have a question? What time are you picking me up to go home? I am really looking forward to it." Kai said she will be good and cannot wait to see YaFang (Kau`i) and her sisters. Kai also attached a picture of herself. She wears glasses!!! Kau`i said "Oh mom! Now we have three people in the family that wears glasses. Maybe she can wear contacts when she goes to school."
