Simply Having

a WONDERUL Christmas time!

We're together, safe, healthy, happy, a little homesick, but making the best of Hawaii. It's our fourth here. Galina and Johnny are awesome. One is FULL of drama ad one is beyond mellow. I think they are going to be great friends.

It's been awhile since we've taken a picture of just us. Glad we did.

I'm amazed that his eyes are still blue. I know people look twice at us when they see our kids...

A little bit happy about the candy cane.

The beach was really windy and not too sunny, but when we got back home the sun had come out a bit. I bribed with twizzlers to get a few more shots. This is my favorite.

Well...we're almost all looking (and looking happy). I wrangled my friend, Marena, to come take our family pictures that morning. I took hers that afternoon. It works.

Decorating our driftwood Christmas tree. We had big plans to have a mantle with stockings, coffee table, hot cocoa, presents...yeah, we're lucky we all brushed our teeth. We were 30 minutes late because I was finishing Galina's dress that I started the day before. But I'm extremely happy with them. Now if we could just get some news about where we will be after the new year!!!
