Our First Christmas

What a great Christmas! Maddie and Katie were such a joy to have around this year - we feel very blessed. We had an eventful last few days:

12/21 - Doctor visit with shots
Maddie now weighs 8 lbs 11.5 oz
Katie now weighs 7 lbs 14.5 oz
They are both 20 inches long

12/24 - Christmas eve
Christmas Eve service at church - They slept through it all except Maddie was a bit antsy at the end.
Christmas Eve party with the Ohira side of the family - Maddie and Katie saw santa again!

12/25 - Christmas day
Brunch with the Kawamuras and Pickards at our house
Opened lots of gifts - thank you everyone!
Maile's cousin Jenn came to meet the babies (she's here from NYC)
Dinner with the Wong side of the family

Enjoy the pictures! We wish you all a Merry Christmas!

Santa and 7 weeks!

Happy 7 week birthday to Maddie and Katie!

Tonight we took the girls to meet Santa for the first time---we had so much fun! We went to Kahala mall and our amazing babysitters came to join us and help out. Thanks to Erin and Jamie for pushing the stroller, helping with diaper and clothing changes and with the feeding--you are lifesavers! Maddie was wide awake when she met Santa and Katie seemed like she'd rather be napping. Enjoy and happy holidays!

A busy month

So far this month has been very busy! We've had lots of visitors, got our Christmas tree and are really enjoying getting the girls ready for their first Christmas. They are growing so fast - they are drooling all over the place, making great eye contact and focusing on things, and gaining weight. They are still in their newborn clothes, some of it is still too big, but they are doing really good. We're off to take photos with Santa this week so stay tuned!

Happy Christmas and More!

More Twins!

My dear friends Gail and Sara from Seattle came to visit with their adorable twins, Kate and Laney. Their twins are 4 years old and are so precious. They adored our babies and were helping us carry and feed them - we can't wait to see them next month! I miss you guys!
