Don't you love packages from your family? We do!! It always feels like we're celebrating a birthday or Christmas morning.

This is a Hawaiian print tablecloth that Aaron's mom sewed for us. I love it especially because it has turtles on it. It's so beautiful and she's generous and creative!

My brown babies giving each other sweet hugs. Elise modelled her fun, new Hawaiian print bathing suit! I think she insisted on wearing it all day + night!
The kids exploring Elise's pink and fabulous hair accessory kit from Aunty Jacelyn. Elise would throw a fit if Elijah accidently caused any part of it to become out of place.
This is what Elise came up with when experimenting with her new hair clips. Other goodies that Aaron's mom sent us but that I did not get a picture of: poi and cuttlefish - yum! They disappeared too fast into Aaron's tummy. Thank you Hilo Ohana for the wonderful box!
(Elise is pretty in pink, a princess fairy)
These adorable Halloween costumes are from my mom, who is an expert in finding amazing deals! These were aparently too good of a deal to pass up. I let them wear it once and then I had to hide them so that they wouldn't get ruined or wear out their novelty before Halloween.
Sorry, it's sideways - I can't figure out how to flip it around! It's a read-only file.

Elijah growls! Watch out, this little lion cub is one tough cookie! He LOVES growling and dressing up! This costume is the perfect combination!

Other goodies from Maui Grandparents: A cute dress for Elise, a book on gardening, Hawaiian salt, and chocolate covered macadamia nuts w/ powdered sugar! (We gave those to our sweet neighbor who jumped our car when our battery died!) Thank you mom and dad for always thinking of us and sending fun boxes! My mom sent me a box every month on my mission!

Jackie, it has been so long! I loved reading over these last posts. Thanks for the photos you sent; I have some even older ones for you (10 months old). Can you believe Halloween is at our throats again? Time is flying. I need to write this in an email rather than a comment. I loved that photo of Elijah.
