December Catch Up

So much to catch up on...

In the beginning of December I ditched my family and went to Hawaii with my siblings, parents, and Angela.  I was a fun week by myself.  Yes, I felt guitly that I had all the fun, but it was such a great break and it was so fun.  I hadn't been to Hawaii since I was nine, so it was great to go back after almost 20 years.  --Weird that I can say "20 years ago..."  We went to Lanaii-- a teensy Island with one teensy town, and two sister hotels.  It was beautiful, best snorkling, best beach, paddle boarded for the first time, went surfing at a secluded beach all to ourselves, touched two sea turtles playing in the surf with us, saw three whales breach way close to us,  eat great food, played tennis, hiked, ran, ate pineapple, spent 10hrs a day at the beach.  Did I mention it was great?  No diapers, no schedules, no one to take care of...

Yes I did come home and was excited to, just a little time to myself was great.  I didn't have a camera, just my phone, but a got a few pictures

You can't see in this picture but there are tons, maybe a hundred of dolphins that came to the Hotel's bay to rest each day.

Out on a jeep ride, exploring the island

Surfing, all over each other.

Perfect small waves, glassy water, and a nice long board.  Just how I like it.

Jesse at his school program.  He was a deer.  I was so proud of their little program.  They did so awesome.

Hanner started to have cereal, and yes that's cereal in her eyebrows.

Wy Guy wears "wears" short for underwear now.  We had a few bumps, but it went pretty well.  A funny story.  One time I was taking him and he was bouncing up and down on the toilet trying to get the last drop off and he was getting frustrated because it wouldn't drop.  So then he leaned over and tried to blow it off! ha ha  Got to love little boys.

This is how you'll find Wyatt most days.

J, myself, and some cousins got our first ski day in for the year.

We've done a little of this.

And we even got to see Santa a few times.  The real  one!
