while much of the country was in a deep freeze over the holidays, the girls spent their's in warm, sunny hawaii visiting their new cousin, auntie, uncle, grandma and grandpa. and, for the first time ever, the girls sat on Santa's lap, although Malia still needed a little hand-holding (literally).

Christmas was fun and the girls had a good time opening presents and playing with auntie..

the frozen yogurt with auntie was pretty good too..

and of course, what would a trip to Hawaii be without some time in the sand and a trip to Matsumoto's...





the girls even got to play pop-pops with auntie and fireworks with uncle and grandpa..

We hope everyone had a good holiday season and we wish you the best for 2010!
