Thanks! It's funny, the thought popped into my head one evening. I've felt so bah humbug this year and just wanted to Celebrate Christmas in a different way, and I put the invite out there on the Ohana facebook page. I didn't expect such a wonderful response and turnout. After my Mom passed away last year just before Thanksgiving, I've just felt out of sorts about the holidays. I'm sure others know exactly what I mean. Change is hard but happens and we have to adapt. I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend the holiday! Mahalo!

Wendy, you inspire us with your creativity and giving spirit and I know Matt is getting excited about his artistic side again. I'm inspired now, more than ever, to find mine as well. I'll get that bedroom cleared out and put my art table back in there and throw a tarp on the floor and we'll have a place to paint and play when we are feeling creative.

Marlene, thanks so much for the photo compliments. It's something I've been passionate about for a long time and want to continue to learn. I will be honored to help you with your project in 2011.

It was so great to share food and shake cocktails for our Ohana. You all made my Christmas special and not a sad occasion.

Let's make the new year the best ever! Mahalo!!!
