Though Markus was off-island there was plenty of activities to keep me busy.
The now traditional Christmas Eve Gift Exchange at Naomi and Aaron's. I tried hard to get me the ukulele or the American Samoa flag (a few of this years "hot" items). Sadly, I came away empty handed after a cut throat round of ro0-sham-bo. As a wonderful surprise Dr. Dave came through for me and gave me my very own ukulele!
A few highlights:
Aaron, sporting his awesome Xmas shirt getting just what he asked for:
Maria super excited by her awesome tie.
Naomi gets a calus cutter from Ned. Awesome.Ned gets this hat as Karmic payback.

And every Xmas post should end with a cute baby picture (Ona ready for walk):
