This year we decided to spend Christmas in Hilo with the Calles 'ohana since Mum flew into town to celebrate with all of her siblings birthdays and Christmas together. It's been more than 42 years since they've all been together, so we didn't want to miss out on the special occasion. This is what we did...
*21st (Tuesday)-Flew stand-by to get to Hilo! After missing 2 flights (starting at 5:45am) we finally got on the 3rd flight at 7:45am. Lindy and Mum picked us up and we had breakfast at Ken's pancake house. Then, we had dinner with all of the Calles' at Aunty Gwens. After several hours, Jase and I finally untangled present decorations.
*22nd (Wednesday)-Surprise!!! Happy 60th Birthday Aunty Peaches and Aunty Gwen! Then, Christmas Caroling.
*23rd (Thursday)-Breakfast at the Maluo's. Jase spent some time with Grandpa. We visited Mum's friend.
*24th (Friday)-Happy 28th Birthday Cousin Aaron and Merry Christmas Eve! We exchanged the $10 grab bags. We made earrings for Aunty Pudge and Jasmyn.
*25th (Saturday)-Mele Kalikimaka! We visited several grave cites: Uncle Willie Kalaniuli (Jase was named after him because he was born 10 years to the day he passed away) Calles, Gma's parents, Uncle Elijah Maluo (Keanu's named after him) and Aunty Jo's parents. Then we finally went in the water, Chock's and Puhi bay. Lastly, dinner at the cousin's house, playing cards!
