Christmas vacation recap

Now that I am officially back in Hawaii and the Christmas vacation is over, it's time to give a very brief and shallow recap of what happened during my break. It included,


Decorating the house in my mom's cute Christmas decorations (she LOVES them snowmen, they had their own room in the house, the family room)



Making fun little snacks for some co-workers for my dad


my mom just maybe still has some Aloha spirit lingering from the trip...


Enjoying Christmas day with the family, (sorry no pictures, but just trust me that it was a good one, after Jessie and Dad made it home safe.)
lounging, sleeping, eating, and eating some more, and lounging some more, a little bit of painting...

Post-Christmas fun with Wolfgang in Vegas and for New Years and spending time with relatives who spoiled us,

We went on that NY, NY rollercoaster (above). I had to be the strong comforting one in the relationship at that moment...


Making REAL wienerschnitzel with Wolfgang at our house (mmm MMM!)
(Wolfgang was thoroughly disgusted to see that "wienerschnitzel" is the name of a hot dog joint in America...don't bring it up)

Like his shirt? I have good taste...


and insisting that Wolfgang get his "fate" at the Cameron Trading Post... let me know if you ever need a scorpion in a glass ball thing, or magnetic rocks, or kachina dolls, or, or....




Oh, and also while at home, I scored an awful haircut that has already been fixed once, but still looks like an awful haircut. Needless to say I've been keeping my hair in a ponytail for the last 2 or 3 days. Thank goodness my friend and now new roommate Janelle (the pro star) cuts hair really well and will get er done and really fix it. It's a shame that I have to completely chop it...all I wanted was a trim and a few layers in the first place!!!!

But needless to say, I had an absolute wonderful time being home. It was actually bitter-sweet to come back to Hawaii, but I have been blessed with much.

You cute thing! I LOVE your pics! You and Wolfgang are WAY TOO CUTE! Stop it! I once got a hair cut that made me look like George Washington. I guess she didn't know how to make me look like Oprah like I asked. I should have brought a better picture. J/K. :P LOVE you!
