Mele Kalikimaka

Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say 

On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day 

That's the island greeting that we send to you 

From the land where palm trees sway 

Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright 

The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night 

Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way 

To say "Merry Christmas to you." 

I know there are only remnants left of the Christmas season, but I thought it better late than never to post a few pictures!  Although I did not spend Christmas on a beautiful Hawaiian island, it felt a little like it being here in South Florida. Bobby and I spent a quiet Christmas with palm trees swaying and 80 degree weather.

It was a bit strange to be away from Colorado this year and I felt a little sad knowing I wouldn't be coming down the stairs Christmas morning to a house full of my family and crisp white snow on the ground.  But Bobby and I tried our hardest to make it feel as Christmas-y as possible despite the lack of chill in the air.

We enjoyed a peaceful day, eating good food, opening gifts, and playing with our new Roku.  Maybe next year we will be singing White Christmas instead!

Bobby is really good at opening presents :)

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
