Hawaiian Christmas-Snorkeling


Hanuama Bay is a must see if you are ever on the island of Oahu. Josh, Heather and I went snorkeling while Joe watched the little boys. It was amazing. I love sea turtles and Josh found one on the reef for us to swim with.















The sunset was beautiful there.













We kept seeing these little critters and finally found out they were mongoose. They were very cute and fun to watch.












Hawaiian Christmas-Whales

Humpback Whales are one of God's most amazing creatures. How something so large and ugly can be so graceful is amazing to watch.

The Perfect Tree







The weather was great for picking out a tree this year.

Joe took the camera today and insisted I get in some pics.


Micah didn't get to help saw it down this year:(















Tradition is Heather makes the final tree choice and the boys do the sawing. They love it.
