Happy Holidays!

Well- the holiday season has come up very quickly!  My family was able to come to HI for a visit- and although my parents have returned to the chilly mid-Atlantic, my sister and her boyfriend were able to stay through Christmas.  A block of vacation came just in time as I spent one of the longest weekends yet working before my family arrived. 
I'll write more about our adventures soon- but just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas Hawaiian style- mele kalikimaka!
Here are some pictures to enjoy!

It does snow in Hawaii!!!  This is a house down the street we saw today.
