Christmas Day in Hawaii! Definitely a first, but hopefully not a "last":).
Stella had to be at the airport early, so Brian's parents drove her. We also noticed some red Christmas bags on the counter when we came downstairs in the morning, Brian's mom said that the kids had to have SOMETHING to open on Christmas morning:). I walked down to the umbrella rental stand, thinking if I got there 20 minutes before it opened we might get a front row umbrella this time. Nope, apparently you have to get there a lot earlier than that for a front row umbrella on Christmas Day! Third row was still okay, it's really nice to have that "home base" when you're on the beach. One thing we noticed is that the beach got busier and busier the closer to Christmas it got. It was pretty hectic that day, but we still had a lot of fun! Got some hot dogs for lunch, hung out in the water. It was our last beach day so I wanted to take advantage of it! We came back in the early afternoon and had some down time at the condo. We had our "Christmas dinner" at a Mexican roof top restaurant. There was a small hitch when Adam didn't tell us he needed to go the bathroom and instead peed in his seat:-/. I rushed him back to the condo, ranting all the way, and we were able to run back and have dessert with everyone:). We walked down to the beach again so the kids could run around in the dark. This is where I heard a band playing "Walking in a winter wonderland" as I was walking on the warm sand at the beach. It was so strange to hear them playing all these "snow" songs! Aren't there enough Christmas songs that don't have anything to do with snow?? It felt a bit out of place, but I didn't mind;).
A beautiful Christmas day!
