The weekend started off with Kurt and I sleeping over at my grandpa's house in Ka'u. A few weeks ago, my grandpa called and invited us to go spend the weekend with them before the babies were born. Little did I know, this was a ploy to get me out of the house and out of Hilo so the shower could be perfectly executed.
Well, we spent a lovely weekend out in Ka'u and were treated like royalty. Aunty Diana cooked the best meals and we talked to them for hours on their patio as the sun went down. The plan was to go whale-watching on Saturday morning, but my big pregnant belly was protesting to the bumpy ride down to South Point, so we ended up visiting family.
After lunch, Kurt and I left for Hilo because he said he had to meet the bishop for an Ecclesiastical Endorsement and that I needed to be in on the interview as well. So we returned, got dressed in church clothes, and headed over to the chapel.
In the cultural hall, everyone was waiting for my arrival and yelled, "SURPRISE!!" when I came in. It was really nice, and I cried a lot. There were so many women that have helped raise me, befriended me, and loved me over the years and they were all there to celebrate my daughters.
We got tons of amazing gifts!! Everyone was so generous and spoiled these girls SO much already. We are so grateful for all of their love! I felt so loved and blessed at the baby shower, and I know that many, many people love these girls as well!
