Tonight was the Wahiawa 1st Ward's Christmas Party.
It started at 6:00pm, so we arrived promptly at 6:05pm, knowing that we would still be early, which we were. Church functions in Hawaii tend to start 30 minutes after they're supposed to. I like to be 'on time', so I hope I don't end up being late all the time once we move to Washington!
Here's Daddy & his Nan:
Silly faces!
(Why is the inside of Matt's nostril sparkling?)
(he said, "I had an idea")
Matthew coloring a Christmas picture:
McKenzie looking surprised:
Here's our friend Macy who we sat next to:
And Macy's crazy cute little sister Mia:
First we ate goooood food. Some rice (as always) teriyaki beef, chow mein noodles, and a bunch of other island style food which is why I'm so fat now.
After dinner came the entertainment.
We had the privilege of having Manu perform a Samoan Slap Dance for us!
Who else's ward party has a half naked man slapping himself as their entertainment??
Watch the video:
Then the Relief Society did a hula.
I JUST learned this hula this morning, which explains why I'm not very good at it, and I'm between Maria & Steph who don't know it very well either, so we bump into each other the whole time. It's entertaining to watch. I wish I could hula like Crystal!
After the R.S. hula, the Elders Quorum came up and sang 'Silent Night'.
It was so nice that I had to get a video of Matt actually singing in front of people!
At the end, Santa came!
Kenzie sat on his lap first:
Then Nathan
and Natalie
Matthew didn't want to sit on Santa's lap because he recognized "Santa" as his friend's dad!!
All in all, it was a really fun night.
And I ended up with 2 cute pictures of Matt and I!
MERRY CHRISTMAS
