Celebrating on Christmas night
We had a huge white elephant gift exchange, there were 23 gifts! This was a first for many of us Hawaii folk who hadn't done a white elephant exchange before. Fun times!
We also had a surprise baby shower for Dara Yanazaki who is due to have a baby girl in early January.

The swimmers, one with purple lips! Spence does the backstroke best because he hates getting water in his face just like his momma.
I was getting out the garland and Cami plopped down next to me and crossed her legs to be my little helper.
