Our Zumba Holiday Party is something I always look forward to each year since 2012. This is with the group of friends who keep me wanting to go to exercise class throughout the year.
This year our party was at Paesano in the Waimalu Plaza.
The restaurant had set the tables beautifully for us with fresh red roses.
After everyone arrived we shared our favors with each other which was then put into gift bags that Naomi gave us to bring home.
The menu was Italian and I decided on Scallops Scampi.
This is my dish.
The dish below is a clam linguini and below that is a chicken vegetable dish.
Naomi and Myrtle thought up games for us to play individually and in teams.
This first photo shows how groups of threes had to build a snowman with cotton balls balancing on one person's head.
Of course we all voted for our own team so we were all winners.
We then took turns telling the group about the highlight of our year.
Naomi very generously bought desserts for all of us to share. The first was a mousse, I believe and the one below was tiramisu.
And here's eleven of the wonderful ladies that I exercise with. One person was not there and we missed having her join us.
And here are the wonderful favors that each person brought. Art, mom and I had a lot of wonderful desserts to share tonight.
The best gift of all truly has been the friendship and camaraderie we've been able to share throughout the year as we help each other try to keep healthy.
And now tomorrow I'll be working on burning the calories I ate.
