Thanksgiving in Hawaii

We hosted a little Thanksgiving party this year with some of our neighbors. None of us have family on Oahu, so we combined forces to make a great meal and have a day a little different from all the others.

This is our living room, ready to go for the feast. We brined the turkey in salt/sugar water which made for a very juicy white meat! I suggest you try. Here's Dave with Amy, Jaden and Jon, our upstairs neighbors.
This is Sam, Dan and Riley, our garage neighbors.
And here we are with Mindy, the rest of the garage neighbor family.
We had a lot of fun today even though we missed our families. Last year we went to the beach a couple times over the Thanksgiving weekend. This year, Dave's trying to finish an 18 page research paper! Guess what we'll be doing for the rest of the weekend? Not the beach! :(

IT'S a BOY!!!!

Ok so the video here is short, and you can't see much but I was going to do the whole ultra sound but if you listen really carefully you can here the tech tell me we can't video the ultrasound "because some times the video makes it look like the baby is growing two heads or three feet stuff like that, but whatever enjoy!! it is like five seconds long!!



so here is the important picture first!! Wendy was so sure that we were going to have a girl, sorry Wendy!!



then obviously this is a profile picture, for those of you who new Grandpa Larson, if you look close enough you might see him in this picture!!!



and for those who think I might be crazy in seeing my grandpa in this picture you have to look at the face, the nose is really what I'm talking about!!!



and then here is one of my son, looking at the other profile, can't see the face well but he has a good strong back and he has a healthy belly already!!


Here is a bonus video as well some of you have heard about the Haunted Lagoon!! well every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday nights in Oct we heard the haunted Lagoon, we even went twice!! but we heard it so much that when we heard this one section we would repeat it and it got so annoying that we couldn't take it anymore so on the very last night we went again to ride the ride and when we were headed home we heard them call out "last Boat" so we thought that we could share this last bit of the Haunted Lagoon with you it's dark and you can't see much except the glow sticks but Wendy pokes her head in and explains what's happening!!! so Enjoy!! and don't hate us too much if it get's stuck in your head, we had it for a whole month!!!!
