In Hawaii, Christmas is all about family. We gathered last night and had an amazing time. After dinner just hanging out in the yard talking story and playing with all the kids. I traveled the world at many times of the year but haven’t ever missed a Christmas and New Years in Hawaii. It’s a very important time to gather and appreciate family and life. 
Kelia, Seth, and Joshua are all grown adults now. I sit back as they shuck my oysters. Pretty cool that they can take care of me now. Haha. Then came the crab, then came the poke, then came dinner. I was so full!
The hamachi kama was delicious! 
If you ever come to Hawaii and want to make a kid happy, just bring them that purple grape candy Lava is about to try for the first time. It’s from Japan and only cost about .30 cents. It will make any kid smile, happy, and love you forever. This is the moment she put one in her mouth. 
Then she gave me the biggest smile and ate it all. After that, she went walking around the house and stealing the other kids grape candy. She must have ate about 3 rolls. Haha.
