A Zumba Christmas Party

I know it's a little weird to go from a Halloween post to Christmas.  However, I just had to write about the fun we had at our Christmas/Holiday Party at the Waikele Country Club.  This would be our 3rd Annual Holiday Party for our group of Zumba friends.

The Waikele Country Club sits on a beautiful stretch of green grass.  I grew up in this area and it's changed so much from the dusty plantation town it used to be.









Myrtle has been organizing our parties and they've been the highlight of our holiday season.

A large table was set up and Myrtle and her helpers were already getting things set up in festive trimmings.

As people arrived our placemats were loaded with Hawaii type favors.  Everybody brought something unique, delicious, fun and wonderful.













And speaking of delicious... quite a number of us chose the steamed basa cooked Chinese style.

It was scrumptious!

Myrtle had a whole bunch of games organized and many friends donated prizes for the winners.  I have no idea how she comes up with new games every year!  Here she cut up two Christmas cards for each player and whoever could put them together first would win a prize. 

Would you believe I won?

No kidding!

And look what I won!

For this game, Myrtle gave each of us a tangerine and a card on which to write how many segments of  fruit we'd find after peeling it.  After much deliberation, I wrote 13.  And yes, YES!  I won again!!!

What did I win?  Silicon cupcake cups!  I shall have to try them soon.

There were many games that required the use of your memory.  I failed miserably.

And here we are...  wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  My year has been merry and healthier just because these wonderful ladies keep me motivated to exercise throughout the year.
