The shopping center across the street puts on a free hula show twice a week. Gabby was so excited for it. She kept asking when it was her turn to dance. They finally called the kids up and Gabby was one of the first kids up there. She pretty much did her own thing.
Gabby, Kaitlyn, and Savannah have had a terrific time playing together.
I had all my hair cut off on Friday before left for Hawaii. Gabby's thing has been my hair. Most kids have a blanket or toy, but Gabby has used my hair for comfort. She holds it rubs it on her face. When I got home from my haircut, she asked what happened to my hair. I told her that I cut it. She got so angry, she grabbed a big chunk of her hair and pulled it out. She then cried for 20 minutes. She tells me repeatedly that I don't need short hair, but long hair. Unfortunately, she still insists on holding my hair and it's a bit awkward now that it's short.

Savannah, Gabby, and Kaitlyn had fun playing while we ate dinner at Keoki's
Gabby got started on a sand castle right away.

Gabby was ready to go "snooking"(her term for snorkeling).
Gabby was a little skeptical about going potty in the ocean so she settled for the sand, after removing her bottoms first of course. She had to watch to make sure everything came out ok.
Gabby was so excited to go to Hawaii she put on her beach shoes, hat, and got her bucket. She said she needed her purse for the beach, too.
Gabby and David decided that is would be fun to make "snow angels" in the hospital room.
Gabby opened one present on Christmas Eve from Grandma and Grandpa DeVaux. It was cooking supplies. She was really excited to have an oven mitt and apron. I made her wait until the next day to make cookies.

Gabby had a hard time going to sleep and an even harder time waking up. Nick forced her out of bed at 8:30. She was really excited about the Tootsie Roll Pops in her stocking.

I was getting my video camera ready for tomorrow and I realized that I had some video from last year(yes, I definitely need to video more!). So I hope this posts ok. I can't believe how much Gabby has changed in a year. We spent Christmas with all the DeVauxs. Notice that in the background Madison is still opening gifts and everyone else has been done for a while. Merry Christmas!
