Coconut Monkey!

How was your Christmas and New Year?

I hope you were blessed by the season of Christ's birth and that you had a wonderful time with family and friends.

During our family celebration (35 of my husband's family at our house!), we decided to do a new "twist" on our Adult Gift Exchange. We did a small gift card and a joke or white elephant gift. There were some really funny gifts including some Penny "Loaf"-ers carved out of small loaves of french bread, complete with the pennies, a "Make your own Duck Dynasty" complete with beard, "camo" t-shirt, bandanas and a duck call (a party horn), and an I-pad (an eyeball drawn on a pad).

I chose a gift that ended up being a coconut monkey bank--with the word "Hawaii" carved on it. Now, how perfect is that for someone who not only loves the islands, but also writes about them??!!

My Gift Exchange Gift--
Coconut Monkey Bank!

In future blogs I'll share some of my other fun Hawaiian-type gifts I received this Christmas. In the meantime, enjoy my coconut monkey!

Aloha, and Mahalo for visiting!
