What Did You Do For Christmas?

 . . . A little kayaking in the ocean . . .

 . . . A little hiking in the the tropical forest . . .

 . . . A little horse-back riding . . .

 . . . A little walking on Waikiki Beach at sunset . . .

 . . . And a whole lot of wearing shorts and T-shirts and sandals . . . oh, and swimsuits!

It is a little sad to come home from Hawaii to so much snow.

With the reality of a snow-covered town, I am beginning to wonder if Hawaii was just a dream.

(Maybe I should just climb into bed and dream until the snow melts!  But that may not happen until June!!)

 

"Mongo" Snow Fort

The kids' latest snow creation.  They call it the "Mongo" Snow Fort.

As one can see, we have had a bit of snow so far this December.  At least the kids know how to enjoy it!

 

(I must admit, though, that Rich & I have been out to help the kids with their fort and it was actually really fun.)

Scrooge

Spencer had the great opportunity to be in the Third Grade Play of The Christmas Carol. He was given the part of Jacob Marley, the chain-dragging ghost who was Ebeneezer Scrooge's late business partner.

Spencer did an awesome job.  He especially liked clinking his chains and moaning "Scroooooooge!"
