Christmas Day

We had a wonderful day and Pat had the whole weekend that we spent together :). We had our traditional Golden's fried dough breakfast which Chloe of coarse loved. Chloe had so much fun opening all of her presents and playing with them as she opened them. She also received a pretty traditional Korean dress From Uncle Tim and Auntie Melissa that Chloe wore it to Christmas dinner at our friend's house. She also really liked her shopping cart and scooter :)

Events leading to Christmas

We sure have stayed busy in the weeks leading up to Christmas. I didn't always have my camera on hand but do have a few pictures from some of the things we did. We first started with decorating the house inside and out for the holidays. Chloe loved this and was so excited about the decoration you would have thought she had drank an espresso the way she was running around and her level of excitement, which was great to see and help us feel more like kids again. We took several walks around the neighborhood to look at all the beautiful light displays as well as going to the Kapolei light parade. We did some Christmas caroling and the kids had out cookies we had made. We also went to the mall for the holiday train ride and to see Santa. We also made sugar cookies for santa and picked which ones she wanted for herself and which ones were for Santa. We also had a harvest from our banana tree all the bananas that had grown this summer had riped and needed to be picked, plan for lots of banana bread! Chloe really enjoyed all the things we did this month :)
