All we did was party

Great Grandpa/Grandma Webster's Christmas Party

and do we ever know how to party, I am so glad that my grandparents decided to wait until we came home to have their party, which worked out for my cousins and their families that live in Idaho. They came home for Christmas and so we were all there except for Caleb (on his mission), Lisa (had to work) Kyle and Chelsea (just moved to Alabama)! Love the Webster side

 Wight Family Christmas eve....the kids were a little anxious to get to their gifts. It gets a little crazy with all the kids, but it sure is fun to get all together

 Jake-ahoy matey

 Kenadee's favorite-nail polish and makeup

 Curtis and his guns-at least this one shoots marshmellows

 Bailee has been asking for this forever-boy was she happy

 This is the puppy that we all fell in love with, to bad we didn't get to keep him. He is such a sweetie, this might have to be the dog that we get when we are able to have a dog again

 Our Christmas Eve tradition-new PJ's

Well we are getting close to the Christmas Festivities....but stay tuned

Lights, cookies and action

Layton Lights with the Webster clan-it was cold and rainy but we still ventured out and had some fun seeing all the lights

 Kenadee and Sage-these two were tied at the hip while we were there

 Game night with great friends, the kids doing just dance. It was pretty funny to watch

 Cookie/gingerbread night-I always make the cookies because lets be honest, store bought sugar cookies are NASTY!!

 Crazy boys

 The girls...these ladies took FOREVER to finish their gingerbread houses this year. They are getting much more creative the older they get

 Curtis in deep thought

 Jake didn't take that long, but he doesn't sit still for very long for anything

 Ladybug working on hers

 Kenadee's finished project

This has been a tradition in our family (my moms side) since I was 2 or 3 years old. Everyone but my little sister Stef was there and believe we sure missed her! Especially the kids

Stay tuned for more adventures......

Singing and flying our way home....

Well the kids had their school christmas program and it was really cute. Each class sang a song and did little actions to go with it.

Jake

 Curtis

 Kenadee

 Bailee...she even got into the dancing part, only because I told her she actually stands out more if you aren't doing what everyone else is doing. It seemed to work

 After the school program we got to be able to fly back to Utah for Christmas!! Notice what my boys are wearing to fly to freezing cold temperatures-I have no control

 Ready for the red eye flight

 Jake was falling asleep on the way to the airport and I had to keep waking him up, needless to say the minute he got on the plane he was out for the entire flight home!! Even when we stopped in Seattle and had to catch the next plane, he woke up walked off the plane got onto the next plane and was out cold again till Salt Lake. Sure makes my flight a lot easier

 Seems Jon was asleep before we ever took off, he has gotten the hang of sleeping on these flights. The rest of us-not so much!

 Just landed in Salt Lake and he is anxious to get off the plane

Stay tuned for more Christmas adventures.......

Freaky Friday.....

Well since it was Black Friday and all I felt that since I didn't want to deal with the crowds and drive an hour to get to a store that I would do some shopping online that morning so that is what I did, then we decided after lunch that we would take the kids to Sharks Cove to do some snorkeling. This place is awesome, but bring shoes, it is an inlet that is protected by that large reef and the fish are everywhere. In the middle is Jon, Curtis and Bailee headed out to snorkel. 

 These 2 didn't even want to try so they just played in the water around all the rocks. Curtis didn't last to long because he couldn't get his mask to work so he came back to play with these 2. After Jon and Bailee got done, I went out with Bailee and that is when we ran into the turtle. He was hanging out on the bottom just eating away without a care in the world. We were stupid and completely forgot the GoPro so we will go back and get some great footage of the fish.

 So once we were done snorkeling we headed home to get ready to go to the High School Football State Championship game.

 Kahuku VS Punahou

 Now I don't know how to describe this accurately but this place goes above and beyond. So the right side of the pic is the other team, our team is standing in the end zone

 This side of the stadium is all Kahuku High supporters, and that doesn't include the end zone where we were sitting. Now all of these people are from where we live, and there is only a one lane road getting back home!! Yep imagine the traffic to get home

 Here's the cheerleaders getting ready to have the team come out

 and here they come!!!! You can't help but get pulled into all the excitement

 This picture doesn't show very well what happens when they go to kick off or score-now keep in mind that they are called the Kahuku Raiders (indian head with feather) so everyone stands up and has a white rag and with their arm up in the air act like they are chopping and it looks amazing. And then they have a chant that goes along with it. If you have ever watched Florida State they do that chant

It was one of the best games that I have ever been to. We took state-again with a score of 42-20. Now the ride home, just getting out of the Aloha Stadium took 35 minutes. Normally it is a 15 minute freeway and 45 minutes of a one lane road to home. Well it took a lot longer than that and once we got off the freeway the sides of the road were people with signs and yelling and honking of horns the rest of the way home. We live 15 minutes from the high school and once you got to the high school they had an after party that had fireworks and a party until around 3am. Kahuku football is life for the people here. We didn't go to the after party but heard about it. I have NEVER seen anything like this anywhere-this high school is known to have the best supporters around, and I can honestly say that they do!!

GO KAHUKU RAIDERS!!!!

A Hawaiian Thanksgiving

So this year is the first year EVER that we have not been with family for Thanksgiving-it was weird! We didn't have the traditional dinner either......we had 2 different kinds of shrimp (really good-one was ketchup and the other garlic) now these shrimp were NOT shelled so to eat them you had to take their shell off and that included their legs!! We also had chicken, hot dogs (regular and Hawaiian) and steak. That was the main dishes

 I was in charge of all the sides so I did Strawberry-orange spinach salad (a webster favorite) & rolls

 Sweet Kahuku corn on the cob (picked the day before), funeral potatoes and desserts. I didn't take a picture of the desserts so I did 2 cheesecakes-homemade, 2 coconut cream pies-again homemade and I bought a Ted's Bakery pumpkin cream pie. We also had homemade spring rolls (egg rolls) that our landlord (upstairs) makes. So yummy ;-)

 The steak was amazing-this could become a new tradition for us!!

 After dinner we went to our house, downstairs, and we rested and then we went back upstairs to play some games and eat more!

 It ended up just being our family and the family upstairs and they only have 2 kids so we had enough food to feed like 3 more families. All in all it was a great day, yummy food good company and family. 

We missed all of you that we couldn't be with this year and hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
