Holidays = Happiness :)

I just need to mention that I absolutely LOVE everything about the holidays. I love shopping for presents; I love wrapping paper & wrapping presents; I love Christmas music; I love holiday lights & decorations... I just love it ALL. I am so excited to spend this Christmas with my family; I can't even explain it.  This Christmas feels different for some reason (I'm not sure why), but I'm excited to enjoy it as much as I possibly can! I know it's going to be GREAT! :)

Welcome, December!

I love love love December! (Who doesn't love the holiday season!?) I'm super excited for all that this month has in store for me! I have two weeks left in Hawaii (technically one week & six days) & then I'll be heading to California on the 14th.

Before I leave however, we are having a Christmas party with the cousins on the 11th since I won't be here to celebrate with them. I know it will be tons of fun! We're still in the planning process, but we've talked about Christmas cookie decorating, ice skating & of course Christmas movies! Can't wait. :)

Nalani & Toshi's Winter Dance Showcase is this Saturday.  I love watching my cousins dance! & My last day of work is the 10th.  I think I'm going to be a little sad when all of our sessions are over... Some my kids are a pain in the butt, but I love them all!

Of course I have a ton of things on my CA Christmas to-do list, and that includes a two-day trip to Disneyland the 15th & 16th with my cousins. I am so SO excited! The happiest place on earth during the happiest season of all... are you kidding me!? :) :) :) We're getting our Christmas tree on the 17th & then on the 18th we're having our annual Christmas party with the neighbors-- always a good time! I have so much to look forward to this month. I am SO blessed!

& Just because this post wouldn't feel complete without a photo, here's one from my recent photo-shoot with The Hamilton Family. Thad was on R&R from Iraq, so Lacey asked if I would take some photos of her family for their Christmas photo... This one isn't exactly Christmas-photo-material, but I love it!
