Christmas Eve 2013

It is always a bit strange for us "Northerners" to celebrate Christmas in Hawaii... because it is 80 degrees. Ha but when in Rome, do what the Romans do... right? We had a wonderful Hawaiian Christmas Eve in the beautiful Hawaiian Sunshine.

Uncle Greg's parents were in town, so it was the perfect excuse to go to a Luau. There are several Luau's available all over the island (some more "local", some "fancier", some more touristy, etc.) We had heard fabulous things about Paradise Cove and thought like it seemed like a great idea to go before we have another newborn in the house! So on December 22nd we tried it out... Overall it was good but I think I still recommend the Polynesian Cultural Center Luau over this one... (although there are quite a few that I have not seen). H, on the other hand, adored it! She was so into the dancers and was lucky enough to go up on stage. It was a perfect Hawaii Christmas event.


Christmas Eve was spent getting ready for Santa. We made sure to decorate plenty of cookies for him.


(and this is how a toddler decorates with sprinkles....)

Will and I grew up going to Christmas Eve Church- it is a super important tradition to both of us and we feel so lucky to be able to continue it with our babies. Since we moved to Hawaii we have been going to the Main Post Chapel on post and love it... the Christmas Eve candle light service did not disappoint!

 (baby William is really starting to show... good old 3rd trimester :)
