wheresmyfish: dinner with sandi's highschool friends

on saturday night we had dinner with sandi's highschool friends. it had to be moved to wes and jenn's place at the last minute, because it was supposed to be at stacey and carla's place, but since kyler was just born the day before, it was decided that they would be let of the hook as hosts, and we would descend on wes and jenn's instead. it was a wonderful gathering. great food, good fun, an exciting white elephant gift exchange, and a rousing gingerbread building contest.

the two highlights of the evening were: 1) kenji's suprise crashing of the party (he's living somewhere secretive on the mainland for intense military training and didn't think he was going to make it home for Christmas until less than 24 hours before. in fact, we were just having a debate on whether or not kenji was back in hawaii when he walked through the door unnanounced! it was great to see you, kenji!), and 2) sandi and i winning the gingerbread competition. that was a serious shock...we still don't know how that happend. mahalo to the judges!

a big mahalo to wes and jenn for being excellent hosts!! you two definitely know how to throw a party! sandi and i had a great time!!
