Family in Tahiti

The last time we were in Tahiti was Dec.2005-Jan.2006. It was time to show off in person our latest addition: Jonathan. But most of all it was time to see and be with family. We spent Christmas and New Year's "island style"-a first. We usually go to Tahiti mid June-July for the Heiva festivities and cooler weather...plus it's vacation time and it's nice to get away from the Arizona desert heat!
During our stay my goal was to take a family picture but everyone was busy with work, activities, their holiday preparations and what not that we were never able to get everyone together. It was only the night we left (Faaa Airport) that a friend was able to catch this shot of us all.
Present: Mom & Dad, Me (Jonathan, Tia and Ty Hampton), Judith and her 3 boys and spouse (Pedron), Debra and her son, daughter & spouse (Ariipeu), Andrew (in brown), Mahana (in pink), J.P (in white), Michael (in black, in the middle of Mahana & Jonathan).
Absent: Lois (in Mesa, Arizona with family) and Ruben (BYU Hawaii).
