The first weekend we got back to Hawaii my friend Stephanie and I hosted a cookie exchange at my house for the ladies from church. We had a great time talking and eating! Here's a picture with all our cookies...
We also went to an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party hosted by one of the guys Chris works with. We had a good time and there were some HIDEOUS sweaters. One of the winners bought hers off Ebay. It had a stuffed reindeer head in the middle, attached bells on the top, christmas lights around the bottom, and frills along the bottom. It was unique! Chris and I went to Savers and found a few good ones. Here's a picture of us...
On Christmas Day we woke up early and went to the North Shore. It's an hour plus drive. The waves were 25-30 feet. It was amazing to see all the surfers out riding those large waves. Chris is a great surfer but only on 3-5 foot waves! :)
After the North Shore we went to Mike and Carin's house. Carin is an intern with Chris. She had to work Christmas Day, but her husband prepared a 5-meat chili and invited us all over. It was excellent! Chris has even requested he make it again and yesterday Carin brought Chris a bowl plus corn bread!
We went to our pastor's house after that for Christmas dinner with our church family. It was a great traditional Christmas feast! We're so thankful we've made such great friends here!
