Christmas Eve this year was spent in Kaneohe at Laura and Dave's with all of the family. We combined some traditions this year which was a great change. Normally we have ravioli, Pop's sauce and breadsticks and salad from Oscars (a San Diego favorite) but this year being in Hawaii Oscar's was out and both of the son-in-laws grew up doing fish dinners for Christmas Eve so we figured we'd try it out. It was a great change and a big success! After dinner we went to church in Kaneohe. The service was awesome-it was the children's mass so had the children's choir which even did hula and the priest was fabulous-a great message for the Christmas season reminding us that Christmas is not just a one day holiday but rather we should continue to treat others with love throughout the entire year. Joseph was quiet throughout the entire service-he saved it for the car ride home :) What a good boy! Ha ha. After mass we went back to Laura and Dave's for dessert and to hang out. My mom has gotten us girls matching pajamas the past few years but this year she said she decided to go out on a limb and get everyone pjs. The guys were great sports about wearing them (I secretly think they all liked them!) and Joseph even got a pair but we joked around with my mom saying we wouldn't let him wear the bottoms because they were more like tights than pants...which is why he is pantless in the pictures (posted on Christmas blog entry).
