25 DAYS TILL' CHRISTMAS!

(You can click on the collages to view them larger:)

Today was Christmas decorating day at our house! It seems like we had just packed everything away from last year....this year has flown by! Owen was very excited, his favorite part is always the train, and it was his "turn" this year to put the angel on the top! Kayla was another story.....her friend from college was home this weekend, so all the kids were at her house last night, up ALL NIGHT! I had to threaten her with posting "ugly" pictures of her if she didn't participate. I guess as they get older the thrill is gone......but that's why god gives us our own children, to live the excitement all over again! Wait until she's up half the night on Christmas eve putting together toy's and hoping she remembered the batteries for everything:)

So dad, I'm so jealous you and Mike are going to Hawaii in a couple of weeks............don't you think "Christmas in Hawaii" should become a family tradition?? I'm pretty sure the Hale Koa would put on an awesome Christmas luau:) I know mom hates the thought, but we'll keep working on her:)
