WIW 12/22-28: Christmas in Hawaii

We spent Christmas in Hawaii--last chance to get away before the baby comes! I have very few actual outfit pics to show, since I was mostly living in a swimsuit the whole time! But after seeing Alicat's gorgeous bikini pics in the favorite outfits thread, I figured it would be OK to share mine too!

1. DD was so sweet and held DS's hand during takeoff so he wouldn't be scared.
2-4. Swimming in the pool (we have an underwater housing for my point and shoot camera).
5. Santa and Mrs. Claus came to the beach on an outrigger canoe!
6-7. My love of matchy matchy extends to Christmas pajamas! The kids were so excited that Santa came to Hawaii!
8. INC keyhole maxi dress (not maternity but perfect for maternity!), nude sandals and KS orange slice bag (the only purse I brought). And more matchy matchy with the kids in Tea Collection.
9. Orange maxi skirt, white T shirt, AE denim jacket, orange flip flops and orange slice bag. It was almost too hot for the jacket.
10-13. At the beach. DD learned how to snorkel, and DH took the kids out on an inflatable raft with a viewing window and they both got to see turtles in the water!
14-15. Aloha from Hawaii! Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas) from our ohana (family) to yours!

    Thanks so much Day Vies, Alicat, Kristen, Anne, Pil, Glory, Shannon, Diana, MaryK, Thistle, Angie, Sara, Caro, Amy, Suz, Rae, Zap, Rachylou, Beth Ann, Deb, Kirti, and Claire! We had so much fun and it was great to get one last vacation in before the baby comes. We just stayed at the pool and beach all day. I love lazy vacations!

    Day Vies, I know, I love beach feet pics! That is my 2 year old son.

    Alicat, thanks! The kids are really excited about the upcoming baby. You look AMAZING in your bikini pics. I don't think I would have had the courage to post mine if I hadn't seen yours! And thanks everyone for saying I look good in my bikini. In a way, I feel like I look better in a bikini when I'm pregnant, because when I'm not I still have a significant pudgy apple belly and at least this way it looks intentional. I'm never going to have that flat tight belly and rock hard body like Alicat and Angie in their bikini pics! I don't care though, I still mostly wear bikinis for ease of wear. I hate having to take off my entire swimsuit to go to the bathroom--and I have a very small bladder even while non-pregnant--so I prefer two piece to one piece swimsuits.

    Pil, yes I bought the Christmas PJs from Hanna Andersson a couple years ago and bought several sizes in the kids' pajamas and I try to get a family shot in our matching pajamas every Christmas. So hopefully we can continue to wear this set for a couple more years until they grow out of the pajamas. DH hates it though--he does it to humor me but he thinks it's SO corny!

    Angie--thanks so much for the K2K! Even despite the maxi dress? I know those aren't your cup of tea. I'm so happy to get a family K2K rating!

    Glory, Beth Ann and Claire, thanks for the maxi dress love!
