Before Tai was born October thru March was the busiest time of the year for us. Well, this year the madness started in September instead & it's been pretty much constant since.
We've had huge milestones be reached which include...
Tai walking
Tai 1st birthday
A trip to Disneyland
Anelia's 4th birthday
I've been doing a lot of documenting in pictures & posting via Instagram. I also love snapchat & how it allows you to save your snaps from the entire day. I did that for our trip to Disney & it made it so convenient. I had a bit of a video making kick that I haven't been too into lately. I need to change that because my girls love, love, love to watch the videos I made from our trip to Hawaii.
Let's do some updating...
Our little beauty Tai Moana turned ONE! I feel like with each child time just flies faster & faster. Tai is soft hearted, gentle & shy but once she's become familiar with you she has a bit of sass to her. She loves to "sasa" Ane whenever she isn't looking. She's the typical little sister & loves to pull Ane's hair & steal all of her toys. She hates loud noise, yelling, anything scar or out of the ordinary. She approaches everything with caution. She loves to blow kisses & to dance. As soon as she hears music, no matter the genre, she's on her feet & swinging back & forth. Since learning to walk she's been on the go constantly. She gets into everything & loves getting into trouble. When out & about she is either right on my hip or running around creating madness depending on the setting. Some of the words she's saying are: hi, bye, uma (kiss), Ziggy (our dogs name), Dada, Daddy, & the word she says constantly is sasa, which means slap in Samoan. It's pretty priceless. She loves to yell it at Ane all day every day. She 's been the perfect little addition to our family- we're so thankful for her & the happiness she's brought into our lives!
We decided to take our girls to Disneyland for a late birthday gift for Tai & an early gift for Anelia. They both love all things Disney so as expected, our trip was a true success! Some of the highlights of our day was:
Anelia riding the Tower of Terror
Our fast passes on Radiator Springs Racers
Our lunch at Blue Bayou
Enjoying one parade in DCA & two in Disneyland
The firework show for the 60th anniversary was truly amazing & something I'll never forget...
A little side story... People wait HOURS in advance for good seats for the Paint the Night parade & fireworks. Sage & I waited an hour in advance & ended up standing in a crowded area surrounded by people. Sage & Ane went to get some delicious corn dogs for us all to enjoy while Tai & I waited in our spot. He came back & by this time Tai was exhausted, it was humid & needless to say, we were ready for the day to be over. Tai continued to fuss even after eating... Then a lovely lady who was standing next to us turned to Tai & began talking to her, being sweet & trying to soothe her. Her small gesture went a long way & is a moment I'll never forget. She was so kind & gracious. After talking to them I found out that they were visiting from Sandy, Utah... Right by my hometown. I also found out that their daughter attended Granger High with my sister & cousin, such a small world!
Anyways, we had such a blast at Disneyland! We hope to take the girls to experience Disney World when they're older & can fully enjoy the magic.
This little gem is now FOUR! It's seems so surreal that I'm the mom of a 4 year old, craziness! Anelia is our little unique soul. She's full of surprises & as I've mentioned before, she's our sour patch kid. She's also like a box of chocolates, "you never know what you're gonna get..." One moment she's the sweetest thing in all the land. She's helpful, gives hugs, helps with her sister, randomly tells you she loves you & the next minute... She's the compete & total opposite. One thing that is for certain, Anelia is hilarious. She's a total comedian & enjoys making people laugh. She's also at the age where she loves to socialize & enjoys being in new settings with lots of littles her age. I'm so thankful that Heavenly Father blessed us with her as our oldest. She's really quite helpful & becoming more & more independent each day.
I think I covered it? & if I didn't then it must not have been that important anyways...
Xoxo.
