Mele Kalikimaka!

Merry belated Christmas!  We've been busy.  First, we went to Santa's Village on base, where Xander thoroughly enjoyed the toddler bouncer.  So much so, in fact, that he jumped himself exhausted, tried to lie down and take a nap in the bouncer, and I had to have an attendant retrieve him.  I guess he figured he would wake up and bounce some more.

After that, we that saw a Christmas boat show.  Bobby has all of the pictures, but it was fun.  The boats paraded around Hawaii Kai marina.

Then we went to the beach, secretly hoping to catch a glimpse of the president.  No such luck.  Apparently, when he does go to the beach, everyone else has to leave.  He has been hanging around the base a good deal since his home is close by.  I guess the secret service folk prefer for him to be on a military base with controlled access.

Then there was Christmas Day.  Christmas day was a blast with Xander.  He didn't see it coming, and was deliriously happy to suddenly get a bunch of new toys.  The cookies and sugary cereal we let him eat helped.

Bouncy house!

I love this shot.  It was our private stretch of beach!

Total beach hound!

OMG!  Another train set!

Christmas morning.

Blocks!

Another train!  He's in choo choo heaven!

Xander's loot lined up and waiting for him to wake up from his nap (which Dad joined).
