The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Love, love, love December! Even though the weather is not "frightful," we'll have no "white Christmas," and "Baby, it's (not) cold outside," there are still plenty of things to do to celebrate this month (and songs that still apply to Hawaii).
1. Like, play in the snow, er...outside in the 75 degree temps:
2. Make a gingerbread house:
You might think that Zac is putting that candy on the house, but it actually ended up in his mouth.
3. Play with Christmas gear:
Zachary loves the music chime. He wants us to play it every day. "We wish you a Merry Christmas!"
4. Watch Christmas flicks (have you seen the new "Shrek the Halls," and "Merry Madagascar?"):
5. Put up and then take pics of our favorite Christmas decorations:
Our new addition:
6. Attend Christmas parties:

7. And, Visit with Santa (for the record, Santa hit strike 2 with Zac this year):
I'm so ready to wrap the presents and stick them under the tree!

Zac looks like he is having the time of his life (especially at the Christmas party). Do you guys put sand in the front lawn to replace snow?

We LOVE the artist that did that Santa. (Totally spacing his name right now) Kyle's aunt used to work in a store that sells them--so unique and beautiful!

Zac is growing up so much!

It's so odd to me, to see everyone in short sleeves and flip flops! All though I did wear flip flops well into December and have since retired them. It's too darn cold.

Jim Shore! I just remembered.

Yes, we love Jim Shore. We bought a Halloween and Thanksgiving item from his collection this year, and they ended up being my favorite decorations for both seasons. I love that Santa so much--if you notice, I was also obsessed with it last year. I hoped Zac would fall in love with it, and he has! He won't go to bed without watching it.

Cute gingerbread house! It looks like you kept a few piece of candy from getting into Zac's mouth!

Zac is so great; what a cute kid he is! Also, we just got your Christmas card last night... I absolutely LOVE your Christmas picture this year! So fun to get your update (because a blog is NEVER enough!!)

I love the new ornament! Also, the wreath on your gingerbread house's front door is very good!

Can't wait to see you!

I understand that a majority of kids have a hard time with Santa--about the same number that don't like men with beards...
Love ya,
Mom

Whether it's in the tropics of Hawaii or in the cold of Utah, Christmas decorations are always exciting. Great shots of your Christmas... the best are of Zac. We love looking at them.
