Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve at great-grandma's house. Samantha wore her cute Christmas dress.



That's not a very good picture of it, but you can see the top two panels. The bottom two panels have a stocking with a Teddy Bear peeking out, and a stack of presents.

Ron made yummy prime rib. (Wish I had taken more pictures at the party.) We also had turkey, fresh baked rolls, spaghetti salad, cucumber salad, rice, and four types of desserts! I also steamed some broccoli for Samantha (the girl loves her veggies!)

Samantha had fun playing with Krysi and Kimi, two of our cousin's kids. At midnight, we did a gift exchange. Yes, Samantha stayed up until midnight (she knows how to party!) This is one of samantha's many presents.



The perfect gift for her because she loves to read and she LOVES music.

Funny picture

This picture cracks me up! We were at Costco and Samantha was eating a cracker with cream cheese. It was a sample that they were giving away. Well, Samantha decided that she only wanted the cream cheese, not the cracker, which led to....

Sweet

Sleeping at her great grandma's house in Hawaii.


We arrived on Saturday at midnight Hawaiian time, which was 2am for us. There was a 2 hour delay at the airport. The 5 hour flight was very bumpy. I was feeling sick at one point, and worried about how samantha was feeling, but she was fine. She was making friends with all the other passengers on the plane. Samantha took a three hour nap, woke up for an hour, and slept the last hour of the flight, so when we got off the plane she was WIDE AWAKE and full of energy for the next 2 hours. She finally crashed at 2am Hawaiian time. It has been rainy here and we have been very mellow, just enjoying time with her great-grandparents.

Sickies

The stomach bug of 2010 hit our house last week.

It all started with me. Then Samantha got it. Then Ron. I will spare you the details, but it wasn't pretty.

Thankfully, we are mostly better now.
