Merry Christmas to all of our family and friends!


It's the most wonderful time of the year! This is my favorite season! The season of good will toward others! We have been soo blessed this year and we are so grateful for all that we have. We have tried for the last 8 years to get the majority of our shopping done before the end of November so we can enjoy the spirit of Christmas. It has been soo worth it! I really enjoy taking in the spirit! This year it was a little harder since we were in school until December 22nd and had the usual school activities plus some extra to go to. And the H.S. Musical's last performance was December 23rd, so actually Devin's first day of vacation was Christmas Eve. But it really helped to have Christmas Eve on Sunday this year. To be able to enjoy the spirit at church to remind us of the birth of Christ the real reason for the season. We are so lucky to be born in a country that allows us such freedoms as enjoying and celebrating our Savior's birth! We want to send out a thank you to the many men and women that have given their time, expertise and left their families to protect that freedom for the last 5 years! We love and appreciate all of them! We hope this season has brought you the true meaning of Christmas....Love.

PS....Look at the gift the island of Oahu gave my parents this year:
