Mele Kalikimaka!

Merry Christmas from Hawaii! We hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas season! Tai got back just in time for us to go on our trip to O'ahu. We had the best time visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center, swimming with dolphins, snorkeling with sea turtles, paddleboarding, climbing Diamondhead, and eating delicious fruit and seafood. The temperature was amazing, and we got a little bit spoiled with all the daylight we got over there! We feel so blessed that we were able to go and that Tai was back on time. Now, it's back to life, and we hope all of you have a very happy new year!
