Kailei and Mariana

Introducing Kailei Asalele Selina Peters, my oldest niece and the oldest granddaughter on our side of the family. She will be turning 13 this summer as well as entering in to Kailei is the reason my being spoiled for Christmas came to a complete (and I mean COMPLETE) stop! There are fewer years between Kailei and I, and Teri and I. So, Kailei is pretty much like a little sister to me. I like to think I was a huge help in raising her. I remember I used to torment her when she was a baby...hehe I was just jealous of her. But I'm glad we're close and that she feels comfortable to talk to me about anything. Kailei is a beautiful and sweet girl.

And who is this gorgeous girl? This is Kailei's little sister, Mariana Kaloline Peters, BKA "Nana". She is turning 12 this summer and is also entering Junior High this year. Nana is super hyper and caught our "stuck on myself" gene. LOL Like Kailei, Nana is like a little sister to me. However, I didn't torment Nana like I did Kailei :) Nana makes me laugh all the time and she's very very good with the kids.

I had to end this post with the above picture. The girls most definitely had the closest relationship with my mom, their grandma. This one is our favorite one from our little shoot. This one is for you mom!

Love,
Rina
