happy new year!


For New Year's countdown this year, we headed up to my sister Elika's house for a change.
We'd been doing so many activities in Town with my brother's family staying that it was time to change the scenery.  Plus, we felt bad making Elika drive down to town every day!

But first, we hit up the beach in the morning by our house to get out and take a walk.
As you can see, it wasn't swimming weather, but we took a walk, etched our names in the sand and caught some minnows in the ocean.  


 And then we headed up to Hau'ula to spend spend our New Year's with the family up North!
On the menu?  Sushi, Okinawa soba, wontons (with poke!) and chicken wings. 
Yes, we Sakumas take our food very seriously.

 Dinner was followed by some Just Dance on the Wii for entertainment and exercise.


Followed by celebratory sparkling cider to welcome in the New Year!
2013 was so very good to us! We are truly blessed with all that transpired this year-so few downs and so very many ups!  I am grateful for my family, for our health, and for the new opportunities that have come about for our little family.
Here's hoping for many more blessings and progress for the next year!
