Keegs and Paigey-girl

I had fun seeing Keegan and Paige again. Paige likes to carry me around because she forgets that I can walk. Papa says I parallel play with Keegan, whatever that means.

Kailua Time

Mama and Papa got Grandma and Grandpa to take me to the beach one last time before we left. Isn't Kailua beach beautiful? Grandpa says the sand is very fine and excellent for making sand castles. I just had plain fun.

This One's for Uncle Muu

My uncle Murray likes to see pictures of food we eat on vacation. Grandpa and Grandma treated us to Sam Choy's Diamond Head Xmas Eve Brunch. From far to near were: mini belgain waffles, dungeness crab, bacon, sausage, ham, dry garlic turkey, Grandpa, shortribs with mushroom sauce, chicken with pistachio pesto, Grandma, mixed veggies, Cousin Todd, mashed potato with spinach and corn, fried rice and white rice. You can't see the poke bar to the left. The prime rib is in the spotlight in the back next to the custom omelette bar. I ate raspberries, strawberries, fried rice and tapioca cream. So ono! Grandma let me play in the chocolate fountain, but I didn't like eating any of it.

Papa Broke Santa's Lap

This year I had the great fear of Santa, even if it was really Uncle Yasu. Fortunately Papa was allowed to go get my gift for me while I had a fit out in the yard. I still got my present. Thanks Papa!

Sorry Charlie!

Grandpa's friend brought him an Aku for Xmas. Papa has lots of pictures holding fish in his driveway while growing up, so I'm continuing the tradition, but Papa had to help me out for my first photo. We brought some of this guy to Christmas dinner with the Ishikawas...it was good fun!

Mele Kalikimaka!

We're in Hawaii visiting Grandma and Grandpa, and soaking up the sun. Sorry to hear about the rain in Seattle!
Honolulu Hale (City Hall) has a nice display with a Hawaiian Mr. and Mrs. Santa and friends. There's also a big Christmas tree with cool ornaments and lights as well. Today we took a quick trip to see Auntie Grace and look at the display. Actually, it was a repeat of yesterday, when we tried to take a picture, but I spilled juice everywhere and I was not too happy about it. Look for a picture in your mailbox soon! Peace and Joy to you this Christmas.

Santa Train

On Saturday, we got up early and caught the Santa Train in North Bend. I had a really good time on the train, but the visit with Santa didn't go all that great... oh well. There was snow on the ground, and lots of caroling on the train. We had hot chocolate and cookies in Snoqualmie while we took a peek at all of the old rail cars.

Center Choo-Choo!

Today we went to visit Mama for lunch, and I went to Seattle Center to see the Holiday Train. I was mesmerized.
