It just appears that way...

We don't really party all the time, it just appears that way.

I say that cause this life update has a lot of partying pictures...

:)

Last weekend my Aunt Cheri and her family were in the states from Hawaii. They recently moved there and won't be coming back for the holidays so we had an early holiday season!!!

It was Thanksgiving one day, Christmas the next morning, and would've been New Years the next day if we could've stayed longer!

So with that being said, we headed up to my grandparent's cabin in Glendale for our holiday weekend!

 What's a little road trip without an oreo shake at 10 in the morning? And I wonder why I'm chubby? Haha.

 The table was set all nice with everyone's name tags in place.

 It may have been a little squishy but we were all together and that's all that matters!

 My grandparents have built this cabin all on their own! They always have a new project and are always making it bigger and better! I am so impressed and proud of all the work they do to make it a haven for our family! My grandpa Ah Quin always talked to them about wanting to come up and see it but never had the chance with his health. I know that he was there with us this weekend to enjoy this haven!

 View of the field.

 The beautiful creek! (Crick if you are a local :))

 Jeff and I took the "cubby" for a ride!

 Over the river and through the woods...couldn't have been set up any more perfect! After crossing the bridge you turn right then go around the whole field, through two rows of apple trees and up the hill to the cabin! It really is like a story book.

The next day was Christmas morning and everyone got these cute beanies that my grandma made! :) 

We had our amazing Christmas breakfast waffles and ham and hung out and talked most of the day!

 Then once we were home it was back to our weekly routine of dance, school, work, school again, dance again, and repeat! In my photography class we had to do self portraits this week so here is what I came up with. It feels weird to take your own picture, but kind of fun!

Smile, it's good for you!

 Then Friday came around and it was my mom's 44th birthday!!! :) So we celebrated with dinner at Chuck-a-rama! We missed Cec cause she had to work :(

 Before opening our gift! :) I love my family and I love the memories we get to share and create together!

 The yummy and cute birthday cake Cec and Syd made that was DELICIOUS!

 Cookies and cream to a whole new level!

  Saturday I had an awesome senior photo shoot with Nate (Trev's friend) and Trev! It was great! Then I went to set up for our Haunted House Fundraiser! (Put it on your calendar and come out and support!!!)

Then finished the day off with a girls night then shopping at the D.I. with my aunt and best friend!

We're cool! :)

I feel so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life and to be able to do the things I love and find myself a little more each day! :) If every you are feeling down just count your blessings and you will be pleasantly surprised!

Until next time, Much love and ALOHA!!! :)
