Christmas Collages & Clips

We had a fabulous time in Hawaii for Christmas! Some highlights include:
Seeing and spending time with the Auna and Yonashiro Grandparents.

Family pictures, and Marcus trying on Elijah's tie.

Jacelyn playing Santa's Helper and everyone spoiling the kids with presents.

Picnic-ing in the Maui Airport with my parents on our way to Hilo.

Perfect 70 degree temperatures. Gorging on delicious food like fish, poi, lau lau, Komodo Bakery rolls and pasteries... The kids actually sleeping at 6pm or 7pm. : ) The lovely virus we caught. It just doesn't seem right, almost like an oxymoron: sickness in paradise. : ) Karaoke with Baba and Lala: Congratulations to Marcus, the new Hawaiian Idol! Elise showing off and going potty on the toliet - no accidents! Even though she fell asleep in her big girl underwear one night. Jacelyn teaching Elise to say, "Shake your bon-bon!" and Elise saying, "Shake a bum-bum!" Great hugs, long talks with family and seeing Grandpa Aubrey and Larry wear their Father's Day shirts with Elise and Elijah's pictures on them. Watching Korean music videos with Mom Lyn. Jacelyn playing the piano beautifully and Aaron trying out his new trumpet. (He wanted me to add a disclamer, that he hasn't played for seven years since high school band. : ) Winning the Hilo High Alumni Soccer game! Elijah playing with the wrapping paper and trash more than his new toys. Getting taken care of by my parents and in-laws because I was sick. My mom's pillowtop guest room bed. Heaven. Thoughtful gifts from everyone, especially from Aaron. : )
