Best Laugh Ever!

Empty Beaches

So it turned out that when there was the threat of a natural disaster, like a tsunami, it ended up being the best day to take pictures of the beach. I mean really, look at it, perfect sand and empty beaches without usual litter of bodies messing up the shot. 

I'm sure that sounds really insensitive, but in all reality, I'm so very grateful that we were safe and sound here in Hawaii. Our prayers go out to all those poor people in Japan affected by the earthquakes and tsunami.

Opening Doors

I think we're in for some trouble. I was surprised to see Ezra open the door to find daddy. He's such a smart little boy.

Waimea Bay

Waimea Valley

Which is the real gift? The puzzle or the paper?

Merry Christmas! Let's go to the beach!

Ah, the benefits of living in Hawaii. Christmas day was just gorgeous, so our little family took a hike and went to the beach. The waves were perfect, and the water felt warm. Merry Christmas!!!

Scary Santa

 

Poor Ezra was not at all thrilled to sit on Santa's lap, and Santa didn't seem all that jovial either.

 

I love the way Ezra's toung curls in this picture. Oh, he is not happy.

Grandma's House

I recently went to my grandparent's house in San Jose. It brought back a lot of great childhood memories. Here are just a few.

 

Chocolate chip banana bread french toast

 

Eggs over easy

 

Window sticker to keep us from running into the glass door. It worked half the time. :)

 

Original sock monkies. I remember playing with these when I was a little girl.
