We ended the year with a little SHAKA SHAKA
which means hang loose, relax, enjoy life!
just what we needed from the crazy busy year
we flew out to hawaii on christmas eve and got to spend 5 days there!
I don't know the best way to share all of our fun adventures, but most of you have facebook so you can check out my HAWAII album and see all the fun pictures we took... so on here i will just post a couple of my favorites:
Day 1: we left SLC at 10:30 had a 3 hour layover in LA and got to HAWAII at about 6pm. we checked into our hotel and immediately went shopping out on the town! we stayed at the ASTON WAIKIKI BEACH HOTEL which was right on the beach and next to a GINORMOUS outdoor shopping mall.

Day 5: we met up with jennifer (my half-sister who lived in hawaii her whole life) 's mom, kathy, and went and did a session at the Hawaii Temple. It was really special to get to spend the day at the temple, so peaceful and relaxing :)
Day 6: we spent the whole day by the beach!
it was a really nice trip...
just what we needed to feel energized for the upcoming 2012 year!
