Hi-5 Journal

Hello and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
Well, we're all very excited because tomorrow starts our "Move Your Body" tour! I can't believe it's finally here after flying all the way to Australia to rehearse and then doing the Macy's Parade and then having a month off - it seemed as if this day would never come. But, it has and I think that it will have been worth the wait. The show is super fun, but you all have to remember to help us remember all the dance steps by singing and dancing along:).

I also am really excited to see all of you again because what's Hi-5 without our amazing fans! So, we'll see you soon...bring your dancing shoes and I'll do the same.

take care,
Many hugs and lots of love,
Karla

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

Aloha all!!
Let me first thank everyone for the lovely birthday wishes!! That's so cool that you remembered!! I feel so special. My birthday was great. A good friend of mine took me out to a nice dinner at Beetelnut in San Francisco. It was AWESOME!! For those of you in the Bay Area or if you're planning on visiting SF sometime...I highly recommend it!! The food is too good!! After that, it was BOWLING TIME!! I'm such a bowling nut!! I'm not that great at it, but I always have fun doing it!! So my birthday was great...I couldn't have asked for a better day!! Thanks again for making it even more special guys!! YOU ROCK!!
Anyhoo, it's the 24th of December and I am in Phoenix,AZ right now spending the holiday with my best friends family. I wanted to go home to Hawaii for Christmas, but because I have to leave for Hartford on Sunday, the trip would've been too quick. I hope to make it out there sometime early next year...hopefully after the tour. Speaking of...HOW EXCITED IS EVERYONE?!?! We are so stoked to start the tour! I can't wait to see all of you again and to do the new show!! It's going to be sooo cool!! Yay!!
Alrighty, well I guess that's it for me for right now. I'll try to write again as soon as we get to Hartford. Till then...have a safe and Happy Holiday Season everyone!! I love you guys and I wish you all the best!! MELE KALIKIMAKA!!

Love love,
Kimee
ps....here's a picture of me at a Christmas Party in San Francisco. It's with Lou Seal, the Giants Mascot...he's too funny!! Enjoy!!

HAPPY DECEMBER!!
Hey all!!
How is everyone doing? I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!! After doing the parade, I hopped on a plane to Phoenix, AZ to spend some time with friends and family. It was great. Speaking of the parade....IT WAS AWESOME!! Did you all enjoy it? We had so much fun doing it...could you tell:) We were all so excited and couldn't have asked for better weather. We thought we would be freezing our toes off out there...but it was getting so warm that the boys had to take their jackets off!! Craziness!! Anyhoo, the parade was such a blast and I am so thankful that we were able to do that. There were soooo many people there...it was too cool!! There were even Hi-5 signs in the crowds...I totally didn't expect that...that was rockin' for sure!!! Thanks again to all of you for your support...we couldn't do it without you!!
Alrighty, well..what else...Oh...HAPPY DECEMBER!!! We're having a Christmas party at our apartment right now, it's really cool. Everyone had to make an appetizer or a dessert and then we voted on which one tasted the best and which one had the best presentation. I made crab stuffed mushrooms and they seem to be a hit. I even bought a whole crab to put on the platter with all the mushrooms. Last time I checked I was winning in presentation :) I'll let you know what happens.
Anyhoo, we're off to Toronto tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited!! Woohooo!! And the tour is going to be so awesome you guys!! I want to show you pics so bad...but I want it to be a total surprise!! It'll be awesome and I can't wait!! It's sooo close you guys....it'll be sooo much fun for sure!!

Okay....once again...I've left a super long entry!! But I LOOOOOOVE YOU ALL and I look forward to seeing you all soon!!

Much love love,
Kimee

HIIIIIII!!!!!
Did you all see the Thanksgiving Day Parade?!! It was such a blast and it was amazing to see some of you there! We totally lucked out with the weather and I have no doubt that it's all due to the positive vibes you guys have been sending us.

Australia was really great, too. We have a super fun stage show all ready to show you...but you have to make sure to get up and dance right away so that the other kids in the audience know how to do all of the moves.

You'll be happy to know that my kitties are doing very well. Scooby, who is the younger of the two, is now two times bigger than Scrappy. We call her our little puma:). The two of them love to play and every time I come home I have a feeling they've been up to sneaky things while I've been away!

I wish that I had more news for you, but I think you all usually know about new Hi-5 info before we do. I'm very excited to get out there on stage in all of your home towns, I only wish our tour could be a longer and more extensive run. But, hey, a year ago we weren't touring at all!! I think we're right on track and hopefully the ball will really start moving fast now.

I can't wait to see you and to give out much deserved hugs!
love and giggles,
Karla
