Thanksgiving

Our thanksgiving celebrations started early this year. The Saturday before thanksgiving we flew to the Big Island and met up with Ashley and my parents. We loooved the resort and spent most of our time poolside. (it was huge, youd take a boat to your room!) We also went to south point, black sand beach, the volcano national park, went star gazing, watched hula and Polynesian dancers, hammock time and played lots of hearts.

Thanksgiving day we spent in California! It was fun hanging out with the Sasines and the Hobbins and relaxing all day. I loved hanging out with my buddy Noah. 
Thanksgiving is Keith's very favorite day of the year. We truly have so very much to be grateful for. I am most especially grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ that binds me with family forever. I am grateful for the abundance of His love that He blesses me with daily. I love, love, love this Mormon message. I've watched it more times than I can remember. Its one of my very favorites.
"Strength comes not from frantic activity but from being settled on a firm foundation of truth and light. It comes from paying attention to the divine things that matter most."
 
 We were anxious to be back on Oahu with Lexi, Max and Jackson  again and love having family on island!!! They have been so fun. Maxs family came out for a week and they were so gracious in letting us tag along in their family funtivites. We spent a lot of time playing in the big waves and playing mafia  :)
