My Holiday Show

Today was the big holiday performance at my school. Some songs included 8 Nights Of Chanukah, Chestnuts roasting On An Open Fire and Jingle Bells.





I also announced the Kwanzaa song with my friend Connor.

Mom and Dad were there and I had a great time! I love singing!














I really like my friends and my school.

Happy Holidays!

Grandmas, Grandpas and other non-strangers!

This is my Grandpa Ed











Me and my Poppaw!



















This is my Ira...brother.

Here is a picture of me with my Grandma Ann. But, you can also see Uncle Mike and Aunt Liz! This was at Uncle Mike's house where I love to visit.





This is me making LaoLao laugh!

I would like you to see my pictures!

I was a pirate queen, and I...um...I needed three kids...and I wanted to go to ten houses!

Here I am at home in my costume....

And these are my three friends...DOH!  I mean two friends...there are three of us kids!

This is Brookie, Sarah Sue and me!

There were witches in the sky!

I'm not going in there!

Hawaii...according to Aden...

( click on the pictures for large size!)

One of the cool things we did this year...in fact, one of the coolest...was go to hawaii to see my cousin Kassia graduate from high school!

That is a picture of Pololu valley which is down the street from Popaw's house.

I flew over with mom and LaoLao. It was so much fun!  I got to play with Amara, Kassia's little sister who is also my cousin AND my age! Well, she's 5, but who's counting? 

The graduation was very beautiful. There were lots of flowers everywhere. Kassia's mom, my Aunt Sheryl, teaches at the school so she got to give Kassia her diploma. That was neat. 

After the diploma's were handed out, the graduates performed the hula for us. 

Then, everyone hung flower leis around Kassia's neck and we got to go home and jump on the trampoline!

Aunt Sheryl and Uncle Tom's house is fun...they have a big backyard and a dog.

We stayed at Popaw's house in Hawi. That was awesome too, because Popaw has a great big yard to run around in. I could see Maui from his front porch. I also got to touch the King Kamehameha statue.  The original one in Kapa'au!

My Aunt Sandy and Uncle Rick were there too.

We went to Waikoloa and saw the dolphins...and there was a bird that really talked. he said...Hello to me! That's where I saw the big BooBoo...er, Buddha.

Hawaii is so much fun. You should go sometime!

Long time no see

Wow...I started this blog a year ago, just to see if I could figure out how to use the site.  Well, I'm no slouch...it only took a year, but now...I have skills baby!  Not mad skills, but...skills.  

So, I am going to try and pick it back up so that our family and friends can follow some of Aden's progress.  

Aden is four now...she still wants a pony.  She's in preschool, her favorite color is red, and she supports Barack Obama for president.  

She is already a frequent flyer.  She has been to Chicago several times, Hawaii thrice, and Hannibal, Missouri once. She has made several trips by car to San Francisco, and frequents Banning, Ca.  

.

I will post some of the pictures from travels with Aden in the next few days, so check in and see what goes up! For now...enjoy shots of Aden at the park. Sure to be classics!
