Its beginning to look alot like....

every other day in Hawaii--but it is Christmas time.  The kids are enjoying themselves, all is well.  We had a nice thanksgiving, and any holiday where we can all be together is a good one.  Last weekend went to the museum with the shark exhibit, then to Ala Moana Mall (downtown) for a Christmas show and parade...during the show, it actually snowed in Hawaii, the kids were fired up! 










Jim's office Christmas party was out at the Kaneohe Bay Marine Corps base which is probably one of the prettiest pieces of real estate in the world.  It is on the other side of the island from Honolulu, and a world away.  The next day, the office and families got together to take a boat out to the sandbar in the middle of the bay...it was real pretty.








Then the kids went and shook their tailfeather to some Christmas tunes at the lighting of the freedom tower on Hickam AFB.  If you watch the movie Pearl Harbor, the real tall tower there, that is it.  They light it up like a big Christmas tree.  Anyway, they really enjoyed dancing.




And to complete our saturation of Christmas events, the kids went and saw Santa at the Hickam AFB Officer's Club this morning.  No crying and they all enjoyed it.  The O Club is right at the entrance to Pearl Harbor, so we took some pictures there, cause it was a real pretty morning.  There was a ship coming in and a sub going out of the harbor that the kids wanted to wave at. Hope that yall are having a good Christmas Prep time.  Go War Eagles, good luck to Kelly and Kait next Friday at the State Championship!
