S got his favorite book for Christmas. Now other kids can have a turn at the library.

A friend of mine invited us to share a one-horse open carriage ride with her family. S is in this picture, taking a turn with all of the kids. It was one of the nicest Christmas surprises I’ve had in years.

We took a trip to the Bishop Museum in Honolulu and enjoyed their temporary Lego exhibit. The boys thought this car was super-cool and H did NOT want to leave it–EVER. I wished I had brought the “real” cameral.

S and his Grandpa share a birthday, and this year, the glow of their birthday candles.

We went on the Christmas Lagoon canoe ride at the Polynesian Cultural Center and enjoyed the lights.

We always try to get a family photo to include in our annual Christmas letter, we were a little late this year.

We don’t have much reindeer decor in our Christmas collection, so this is the best I could do.

Amazon packages kept arriving on our doorstep all month long!

I made these for the boys in my little preschool class. I had fun making them and they had fun wearing them.
