Blessing Day

While my mom was in town we decided to bless Jacob on Sunday. He slept most of the day but we happened to catch of few pictures with him while he was awake.

It was great to be surrounded with family throughout the day. We were lucky enough to have Grandpa and Grandma Maloy in Hawaii for this special day.

Best Day Ever

Richard got a fire pit for Christmas, along with a chainsaw (because you can't have a fire pit without a chainsaw to cut wood with-so I was told). After a day of heavy rain we got to try it out. The kids loved it. We had hot dogs for dinner and roasted marshmallows for dessert. Dylan kept saying "This is the Best Day Ever."

Enjoying the Moment

After all the planning, shopping, and preparing...Christmas finally arrived and ended all too quick. Here are my boys enjoying the moment.

Around 7AM Brendan woke up and saw what he got from Santa. He couldn't stand being the only one awake so he went downstairs to wake up Jordan. Richard and I decided to get up and Richard got Dylan out of bed.

He must of been a little tired still because Dylan noticed everything he got from Santa except for the one thing he asked for-his scooter (he wasn't looking up and his other presents were covering the bottom of his scooter).

Here is a picture of Dylan finally realizing he got a scooter from Santa. Jordan and Brendan enjoying Rock Band. Notice Brendan singing in the background. As I am writing this a few days after Christmas, I can still hear Brendan singing downstairs.

After all the presents were open and yummy breakfast eaten, Dylan looks out the window asking "Where is the snow?" He was sad (and looked a little mad) that he didn't wake up to snow outside. He looked again about 1/2 hr later but still no snow. One day we will travel to cold regions to experience snow again (but only for a few days).

Merry Christmas!

What do I want for Christmas?

Dylan hadn't sat on Santa's lap this year so I took him to the mall yesterday so he could tell him what he wanted for Christmas. He took one look at him and said "That doesn't look like Santa." I let him know that Santa doesn't wear his red outfit in Hawaii because it is too hot. He decided he would talk to him but he did not want to sit on his lap. Before he talked to Santa, Dylan asked me if it was a scooter he wanted for Christmas (like it is my decision what he wants). He must have got nervous because when he told Santa what he wanted he told him a bike but he remembered as we were leaving and told Santa "I mean a scooter."

Winter Festival

School performances can be entertaining (at least for the parents).

Dylan sang most of the songs his class was singing but for some reason he didn't care to do the actions. Brendan was a Frenchman for his part in the program.
He later had to dance with a girl.

Jordan played the ukulele in his cardboard costume he worked all night creating.

Jordan has found a new passion in the guitar and ukulele.
