The Tichy Family on Christmas Eve.

Jobe and Jaren outside the condo with Molokai in the background.
The Church in Kapalua where we went to evening services. This is the church where Jobe and Renee got married.

After Church we came back and had the "traditional Tichy Christmas Eve dinner". Swedish meatballs and leftse were served in honor of our Scandinavian "roots".
__
Then it was time for the opening of (yet another) Tichy family "tradition" on Christmas Eve....the MATCHING pajamas!
The entire clan with the matching PJ's on.

Jadyn was Santa's little helper this year. She made Chirstmas stockings for Steve and Jason. She also put them over our mock fireplace, which was the coffee table...we had to improvise in paradise.

This moment had to be capured.
This is Steve's first time placing a gift under the Christmas tree.
...and in the morning. Did Santa come?
We were good little boys and girls???
Steve, Jaren and Jadyn axiously await the rest of the crew to wake up so we could open presents from Santa.
Shhh. Don't tell, but I heard Santa and his eight reigndeer prancing around...I pretended to be asleep. I still believe. Do you???

Christmas morning. Jessamyn and Jason waking up from the morning sun out on the lanai. Jobe and Renee with their "Hawaiian" stockings. Mom and Dad happy to have all their kids with them.

Dad being funny. The whole gang with their matching pj's and sipping Bad Ass Coffee. Jaren and her stocking (I was a good girl this year).
|
|
|
|
The best (and most practical) gift given: The "Fanning Reefs". The Best slippers sold in all of Hawaii. Can you guess why?
|
|
|
Chritmas Day. Not a bad way to spend the holiday. Painting Jessamyn's toes, Geisha Red. Jessamyn and Jason relaxing watching football. The rest of the group soaking up the sun.

Chritmas Day meal preparation. Jobe cutting the turkey before we light the manora. Jaren, sous chef, and the Chef
|
|
Since Christmas Day evening was the first night of Hanukah, Steve told the story and the importance of why Hanukah is celebrated.
|
Even though it was the first night of Hanukah, Steve light the entire manora and put it in the center of the window for all to see.

Love everything...the matching pjs, the Tichy traditions and the introduction of Mr. Schwartz's Hanukah traditions. I'm amazed you got on the plane to come back to New York!
The matching jammy pants on 50 people make me dizzy.
Did you notice that the bottom row of steve's pictures, in the middle one, he looks like he has several fingers too many. I thought it was important to point it out.
