Hi, I'm Maile - as my older cousin I look forward to doing whatever you tell me to do...
On Thursday, we headed to Oahu to celebrate the Christmas holiday with the extended Morisato clan (Grandma Gail’s side of the family). Christine’s brother Steve and his family met us on Oahu. They traveled in all the way from Japan! Since they live so far away this was the first time Maile met her cousins, Katie (age 3.5) and Emily (age 21 months). We’ve been very excited about getting all the girls together in one place. Two things you’ll learn from the pictures:
1. Grandma Gail made sure we didn’t lose track of the girls by making sure they were pretty much always wearing the exact same outfits (just different sizes).
2. It is REALLY hard to get 3 girls under the age of 4 to sit still for a picture and face the same direction all at once. (Forget about smiling!) We did our best, but generally went with a 2 out of 3 ain’t bad approach.
My cousins sure are giggly...
More silliness with the cousins...
For their part, Katie and Emily were fascinated by Baby Maile. They kept staring at her and “petting” her – kind of like their new pet.
Maile was great with the cousins. Although she did need a little help keeping up:
