Happy 2020!

We survived another great holiday season!  It was short and sweet this year and could have celebrated longer but oh well.  We can't complain!  The biggies woke up early on Christmas morning to check out their Santa gifts and stockings.  I made sure they let the twins sleep in since they didn't really know what to expect anyways.  Luckily that tided them all over until we ate breakfast and then sat down to presents.  Somehow the twins discovered some old toys in the carport so they played there for about an hour and the biggies got started first.  It was just easier that way ;)  At the end of the day everyone was super happy.  Santa brought Esme a new desk and booties.  She spends so much time at her big girl desk now and loves wearing her booties.  Chan got all sorts of balls and a basketball hoop which help to get out all his energy!  And the twins for the sparkly car and pink comb they asked for.  It was a good day!

Christmas pj's!  Seems like Esme is now the harder one to get to smile when it comes to family pics?!?!  This isn't the first time this has happened.  It used to be the twins though...

We started with some sparklers early on NYE

The we did a little fireworks show in our driveway once it got dark.  Our neighborhood was full of fireworks!

The twins really got into it this year

We usually go to the beach in Kona on New Years Day but high surf closed a lot of the beaches on that side of the island so we stayed on the east side instead this year.
