A season with many to celebrate! 😍

ABRSM result is out!  Both Ma'e Ma'e and Keko'a scored distinction in their Grade 2 and 5 examinations respectively.  Congratulations 👏🏻👍🏻🙌🏻

They also had their piano recital, but the real superstar was...

(no, not David)

Mama and papa also received perfect scores in their naturalization interview tests, and are well on their paths to become US citizens...after some 20 or years 😭...last step will be the oath ceremony, and was told that we should be attending the one on January 15th.  We shall see once we've received the actual mail as online status somehow doesn't include the softcopy of the mail.

Kids loved their Christmas presents - Lego, Magnetiles, Electric Scooter and Spino Zord Limited Edition Deluxe (Ma'e Ma'e)/Hot Wheels F&F Fast Imports (Keko'a).  It wasn't easy to get the Dino Super Charge item because it was so expensive everywhere, until I found this place called JAMS Collectibles.  It's still expensive, but at $110 with no tax and free shipping, surely beat the $175 + tax at eBay (lowest price).  Sure kicked myself in the behind when it was selling for $90 with free shipping and no tax at eBay...Keko'a...boy, that was a NIGHTMARE 😰  Bought from 2 different sellers in Amazon and they both sent the "FAST REWIND" series (Amazon listings were cheaper than eBay), so with very little time to spare before Christmas - the very last Friday before - I had to go ahead with the more expensive eBay listing for $80 (compare to $55 and $70 in Amazon).  It needed a miracle for item to arrive before Christmas, as eBay only guaranteed it to arrive AFTER Christmas on the 27th!  Well, miracle did happen for this holiday season and we received the package on Monday the 23rd, after some superb sweet talking with the seller to get a 2-day Priority Post complimentary upgrade 😜

Now Ma'e Ma'e is aiming for the Titano Charge Morpher, and both kids want the Lego Nismo GT-R this coming January, 2020.

We also celebrated Keko'a's 🎂 with a beautiful cake from Lucky (to my HUGE surprise how pretty it was), and also a big STITCH!

Okay, so what did papa get?  Well, he WILL get something in a few days, so look out for the next update!
