Mele Kalikimaka!

We started off our Christmas weekend by taking our traditional trip to the beach on Christmas Eve. It was waaaay too cold and windy to swim, so we decided to do a hike instead...Mokapu'u Lighthouse. It was breathtakingly beautiful as always.

Waimanalo Beach on the way home.These are the only pictures we have of Christmas morning...and the hubby took these...not realizing he needed flash. So they're a little blurry. Jason and I both decided we wished there was a church service every year for Christmas day...whether it's Sunday or not. It was such a great focus for the day.
The kids were busy making gifts and cards for each other a few days before and enjoyed opening each others gifts up. That had to be my favorite memory of opening gifts that morning.Lainey preferred to eat all the paper...that was her favorite part.

Then that night we walked on over to "Christmas" street to see the lights again. These folks go nuts-o with the lights.
