Happy Holidays!

It's been hard to find some quiet time these days to update the blog but I figured I better do it soon before we do too many more activities!  The Lyman ohana is still here and we've been having a lot of fun together.  They helped us celebrate Chan Chan's first Christmas and he had a lot of fun ripping up the wrapping paper.  Esme, Charlie and Malia also enjoyed their visit from Santa.  It was an early morning but we were able to take a few breaks from presents and open them over the course of two days.

Presents, round two, once the sun was up.

Oh Christmas tree!

This was a popular gift this year and Chan got 4 of them!

We also had a visit from some friends of ours who used to live up here in WA but moved back to Maui a few years ago - Aunty Lynn, Uncle Garrett, Cade, Kendyll and their Gammy.  Esme has only known Cade and Kenny from their Christmas cards so she was so excited for her new friends to show up.  Everyday she'd ask me to tell her about her "friends" on her Christmas cards.

So many kids - Charlie, Kenny, Cade, Malia, Esme, Addy and Chan
