Aloha Friday and Happy New Year!

Aloha! Happy New Year everyone! I hope you are all having a safe and relaxing holiday. With the nausea and fatigue of early pregnancy, I didn't make it up past 10:30 last night, so I rang in the New Year with sweet dreams, lol. My 7 year old, however, managed to stay up to watch the ball drop with Dad :D

My question today is:

How do you celebrate New Years?

Stop by An Island Life for more Aloha Friday fun.

A Thousand Words Thursday

These photos are from our recent visit to Winter Wonderland, which is a display of antique dolls and Christmas figurines as well as a holiday lights display. It has been a long tradition in my family to visit this time of year. I love taking my family there now and seeing the delight in their faces. They sure had fun posing for these silly photo ops.

Christmas Recap

Christmas this year went by so fast that even my pictures are a blur!

I apologize for the poor photo quality. Apparently I had the camera settings wrong (or someone's little fingers got where they oughtn't have been). I guess I was too busy trying to capture the flurry of events to notice or correct it.
