We can hardly believe that 2008 is over and 2009 is here! We were invited to bring in the new year with the Gonzalez family at their new place. They are now in a high rise downtown on floor 31!
We first spent time relaxing and visiting and getting the Wii set up for play. Naomi adores Zek and got in some kisses and cuddle time!
We all enjoyed some pizza before we headed out to tour the building and then to check out what was happening on the streets of Waikiki.
We had some rain but that didn't stop us. We saw lots of street performers and even Elmo was bringing in the new year in Waikiki!
We got in the spirit with hats and blowers!
Naomi fell asleep before we got back so she missed the new year celebration. Darrick and I told the boys that they could try to stay up til midnight for the first time ever. So when we got back to the Gonzalez' family place, we had dessert and more Wii playing.
Their new place faces the ocean so we had a perfect view of the 10 minute firework show. Micah and Jacob made it to midnight so I got 3 kisses instead of 1! We all drank sparkling cider and just enjoyed the moment with family and dear friends.
After our good-byes we headed back to Ewa which was going crazy with fireworks. The smoke was so bad it was like fog. We had to go so slow and Darrick could hardly see anything in front of him. It was crazy and we have not seen anything like it.
We are excited to see what God has planned for the Hays family in 2009! Happy New Year to everyone!
