We celebrated with breakfast outside with lots of giggles...
and then went to the social security office and filed for her social security number. A very nice lady helped us, but I couldn't help but thinking that she wasn't quite all there when she asked "now, you are sure she has never had a social security number before?".
Later we celebrated more with lais (insert your own joke here), provided by Auntie Marilyn and dinner by the ocean where we watched a most disturbing hula show - it was the Christmas version with the dancers dancing to "Jingle Bells" , "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and "Rockin around the Christmas Tree" - it just wasn't right.
The evening ended with a fireworks display and then back to the room for more general play. Our timing is way off - I really don't even know what day or time it is at this point, so we sleep when we sleep and play when we play....all is good.....

Dear Jennifer,
I cannot wait to see you. I hope you have a good Christmas. Love, Maxwell
Hi Jennifer -
Hawaii suits Ariana very well - you look very relaxed also - have a pina colada for me. Can't wait to meet her - hopefully before we leave for the U.S. on 12/16 - if not, then after.
Saw Santa Claus at TAC yesterday and thought of Ariana.

Is she actually laughing in that picture?
I cannot believe this is the same child from those first pictures!Isn't love grand? And by the way, you look marvelous too. You guys are good for each other - and what a way to celebrate your special birthday! talk soon.xxmichelle
Yes, she is laughing, which she does a lot now - at her toes being tickled, at her stomach being tickled, when she goes to give me something and then pulls it away - a happy child, she is!! The transformation in two weeks is amazing -
