Alofipo Family

Lauren and Kalani
Brigham and Landon
Joseph, Kalani, Jerry and Gena Alofipo

We had the best two days with our friends the Alofipo's. Their visit was a highlight of my holiday season. They are from Brisbane, Australia. They came to the states for Gena's brother's wedding. Gena and I became friends in California. She is a kindred spirit and came as an answer to my prayers to find good friends. She is wonderful. They came from SLC and spent a night and a day with us. They have two beautiful children, Brigham, 5 years and Kalani, 5 months. Gena is also expecting another baby in July. I had never met her husband or children and we had such a good time with them. Jerry took them to see the temple at night which they loved. We found out Gena loves Grandma Sycamore's bread and pretzels.......these are two things they had not had before. Lauren kept saying, "What did you said?" when they spoke to her and asked if they were speaking spanish. Their accent is so fun to hear and the different uses they have for words. Brigham got really scared by Landon with his Halloween costume. They don't celebrate Halloween so Brigham did not like Landon in his skeleton costume. They brought some beautiful gifts for us and the children. We were able to get them tickets to the Lakers game in LA as they went to CA to see the sights there. We wished they could have stayed longer. We hope to visit them in Australia someday.
