~Opening presents with Aunty Kim on his 6th B-day~

Today Kiale turned the big 7... It's funny to see how each year different things are important. This year, it was his party. We had to explain to him that everyone wasn't coming over today to celebrate and that his party would be on the 26th. Since he's older, I think that he now realizes that TODAY is his actual birthdate, not the day that we have the big celebration. So tonight, Maia baked him a cake. We had dinner, and he got to open his family present. It's funny because I remember being that age and having the same "celebration" with just my parents and sisters, and, if I recall correctly, I too was "disappointed" and was looking more forward to the big shin-dig to come. Now days, at least around here, birthdays tend to last for about 3 weeks! People keep calling, presents keep arriving in the mail. Then the final culmination, the Birthday Party. We were actually going to have it at the Stewart Heights pool during the week, but he opted to wait and do it on a weekend because he wanted ALL his Uncles and Aunties to be able to make it :) He loves his ohana...
