Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays from our family to yours!

Here are some of our highlights of the past couple of months:

In November, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Jeremy, and Auntie Cristy were able to come and visit us and go through the newly renovated Laie Hawaii Temple. We are blessed that the Temple is now rededicated and we do not have to fly somewhere else to visit the Temple.

Ongo I and were able to help out at the Temple during the Open House. We really enjoyed being able to have this opportunity.


The first Saturday in December, the Church down the street from us brought in "snow", so I walked the boys down the street so Caleb could play in the snow.

"Brrr, cold!"

I made molasses cookies and before they could get to the party we were going to, the boys wanted to try them--YUM YUM!


We got to see Santa at our Ward Christmas party.


My friend is expecting her fourth baby--but first boy, so we threw her a surprise baby shower. We had an airplane theme, so I made the cake. It took a while, but I think it turned out pretty good, and it was fun making it!

Since we stayed home this Christmas we decided to get a Christmas tree. It has been fun having a tree. The boys enjoyed decorating it and Sosiua has had lots of fun taking the ornaments off and putting them on other branches!

Having fun by the tree.

On Christmas Eve we were able to go to the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl. UH was playing against Tulsa. Unfortunately, UH lost, but it was fun being there.

The reason we were able to go to the Hawaii Bowl was because a boy from our ward was performing his fire knife dance during the halftime show, so we were also able to watch him. He is so talented!


We had a nice Christmas even though it was just the four of us. The boys had fun opening presents and eating candy!

We hope that you all had a very merry Christmas and may you have a happy and prosperous new year!
Happy New Year 2011!
