Mimi Turns 7!!!

It's hard to believe, but Mimi is now 7 years old!!!  For some reason this seems like a huge jump too.  She's not our little girl anymore but turning into this mature, sweet, silly, creative young lady.  Her birthday landed on family dinner night so we switched it up and celebrated at our house.  Then that weekend she had an extended sleepover weekend with cousins and friends.  She was partied out by the end!  She got clothes, art kits, pink glittery rubber boots, Jojo bows, money, Barbie dolls, Claire's gift cards, and of course she loved it all.  Chan was very good on her birthday too and not too bummed that none of the presents were for him.  He couldn't resist at cake time though and had to blow her candles out for her.  Ugh!  Poppy and Eve got into it too and now whenever they look at the wall where we hung the happy birthday banner they say "Happy Birthday Mimi."

Birthday morning, before school.

Chan wanted to try out all the decorations too, including the birthday hat :)

Chan wrote this on Esme's present all by himself.  I didn't even tell him what to write.

Birthday girl after being picked up at school.  Still so happy!

Everyone at the table for family dinner!  We were missing Nana though since she was on Oahu :(

The start of the sleepover weekend!  We picked up the Kona cousins and stopped at Mauna Kea State Park on the way back. 

With a rotating crew of 4 girls every night for the long weekend, we ended up just making a big bed in the play room for them all.   

We also had Valentine's Day festivities right before Mimi's birthday.  Keikiland does a Valentine Luncheon with parents that's lots of fun.  Chan was so happy to have us there during the day and even happier that he got to go home early with us also. 

The twins also did some Valentine art at the sitter :)  They're the 2 little munchkins on the left.  

We've had about 3 weeks of heavy rain here in Hilo so this is what last weekend looked like.  Family movie time!  The twins only last for a short time but it was pretty cute while it lasted.

They're just too cute together!
