Vacation in Mexico at Grand Residences

Waiting for the plane

the plane trip went very well

The beach was perfect

I loved the snuggles 

The hotel was wonderful

The weather could not have been better

The helper that went with us
is one of my favorite people and
I could not do it with out her

We met friends

and ate under the stars

The trip was perfect

and filled with happiness

She loved the ocean

and picking up seashells

June loved the shower

and never wanted to get out.

This looks perfect until Kai decided she was done

then June got a snuggle 

The End, we can't wait to do it
next year

Maelani's Birthday Party

I like to spend Maelani's birthday at the ocean since that is where we placed her ashes.  We always buy her books,  read them out loud and share some cake. I hope her sisters remember Maelani's birthday as a happy time spent with family. 

Reading Maelani her books

The carrot cake, it was not that tasty

Even in Mexico we were ready for the World Series

Hermit crab friend for the night

This was so much fun. Daily breakfast with an
ocean view and it was always amazing

Beautiful sky

Toy donation

Ok, I got lazy this year and I did not want to take the toys out of the bags. We went to Target this year instead of Walmart and I don't think we ended up with as many toys. I used my red card and the cartwheel app, but I still think I ended up with more toys at Walmart. We spent around 340 dollars. I hope the toys put smiles on the children's faces in the hospital this year. This is just Maelani doing her part. 

Sock Snowmen

Kai and I made these snowmen today and I have to admit I don't think they are a fail. They are kinda cute. I saw the video on Facebook by Handimania  and thought I would give it a try. They are made out of old socks and a few buttons. Give it a try.
