Happy Thanksgiving

It was our turn this year to spend Thanksgiving with the Naluai side of the family so we all headed to Grandma and Grandpa Naluai's home for a fabulous dinner together. Keawe's Uncle Brian and Uncle Rick were in town to spend the holiday with us. We also had Keawe's cousin, Kanden and his cute Japanese wife, Miuki(sp?), and their son Kai, Alika and Amber with Malia and Kala'i, Jared and Kaylani, Jonny and Tiare and Leila, and our family. We sure missed the Carr's and the Caravalho's!
The morning started out with the boys, Keawe, Kekoa, Alika, Jonny, (and Amber..pretty good shot I hear) doing some early morning shooting. Kekoa was finally old enough to participate and boy was he excited! Amber took some pictures..




With the Naluai side we get all kinds of different food...from all kinds of sushi to rice filled pockets of yummy stuff (don't know what its called..just yummy), mixed with the traditional turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, ham, salad, rolls, pumpkin pie, Keawe made his yummy sticky pull-apart buns, etc...mmmmmmm! After eating, the rest of the evening was spent doing the Hawaiian tradition: playing music together. The boys got together in a big circle and sang songs while playing their guitars and ukuleles. Some watched football, played video games. The kids played games, did their nails, and watched the movie "Up". It was a fun-filled evening being thankful for a wonderful family.

That was a good day... too bad I had to work.I love Keawe's face in the bottom left..He is probably thinking " get away, this is my raw dough to eat!"
