Christmas in Hawaii is a bit different than we've experienced in our other locations. Mostly, it just isn't cold. The people here do know how to decorate their homes and have a good time thought!
The first weekend, Krist came over for a girl's night. We made gingerbread houses, watched a movie, and pampered ourselves (Bryan even took in on the festivities!).
Bryan's best friend Marcus was visiting Maui, so we decided to tag along and enjoy their condo's nice amenities. I can't wait to go back and visit more of this beautiful island!
Bryan's brother Adam and his family came to visit over Christmas break. We went to the Polynesian cultural center for the first time, and it didn't disappoint. Lots of activities, lots of food, and great entertainment to the very end!
We took his family to Secret Beach
and went on a sunset cruise on the south side of the island.
We took the girls on a hike up Tripler Ridge and found the Christmas tree
and swing!
The girls had a Christmas recital and performed very well. We had a hard time finding a piano teacher, after 2 trials. We are so glad we found Zui! The girls are happy and practicing often.
Of course we got in the Christmas spirit by traveling around the island to the most decorated areas. Ewa was amazing! We even saw Santa walking around the neighborhood in his swim trunks!
Christmas Eve
Christmas Day: Kristi spent the night, Santa brought way too many things again, and we did a cold plunge with our new pool.
Then we headed over to White Plains for some beach time and surfing! So fun to see all the surfers wearing their Santa hats.
On New Years Eve, we hike Makapu'u for the last sunset of 2023.
