Christmas Party with Aloha Eye Clinic

Bryan works 2-3 days every month at an eye clinic in Maui.

The girls had a blast staying with our dear friends, the Chambers.

When we got back from our trip, we went Christmas caroling.

After we celebrated Christmas in Hawaii, the girls and I flew to Utah for a week. The girls were super excited to be cold, touch the snow, visit cousins, and open presents from grandma and grandpa.

We drove up to Bear Lake with Kim and her family. Kate and Jane couldn't wait for grandpa to pull them behind the 4-wheeler like they saw their Koplin cousins do last year.

We enjoyed 2 days of skiing at Beaver Mountain. This was my first time skiing here and I absolutely loved it.

We went night fishing with some friends (Teresa and Shem) at Haleiwa Harbor. We caught so many fish, even an eel! It was a lot of fun for everyone.

I went shark diving with some friends. Surprisingly, I wasn't as terrified as I imagined.

This was probably the best idea ever. Clean up was super easy and everyone had so much fun. I think the plan is to do it again!

October is always such a busy time. We didn't get to carve our pumpkins until Halloween, which worked out well because they don't seem to last very long here. The girls did most of the work this year!
