My Christmas Decorations

Last year I shopped the after Christmas sales to get lots of great decorations for our house. I have most everything put up... it's just weird becuase it is hot outside ;) I made garland to go across all of our sliders and matching wreaths to go on either side of our Tv cabinet. I had to pack away a lot of our regular decor to make room for the Christmas stuff! We have three trees this year.. a ful size one in our living area that is decorated in cranberry and gold (okay, garnet and gold!!! Go Noles! ha!!) a full size one in the playroom that has Hawaiiana decorations and a mini one that has all of our family/keepsake ornaments. We will have to switch out the mini one for a full size one as the years pass. I bought tons of lights to put up, but those aren't quite done yet. Mike did get up the icicle lights around the front and the two big 40' palms in the front have them going all the way up! I feel like our house has wires strung everywhere... I need to figure out a way to hide them all!!! Rhett couldn't care less about the trees, he is more interested in the plug and wires....UGH!

Arby's Cookies

Being that Mike is working 15 hour days this past week, I decided to make 'Arby's' cookies for the crew at our store as a thank you for thier hard work :) Rhett goes to bed around 7pm so I usually hve 3 1/2 hours to myself each night. In the past few days I have also made over 100 Christmas sugar cookies for some cookie exchange parties that I am going to. Now I just have to decorate them ;) UGH!

Freshly Napped

Rhett is so sweet when he wakes up from his nap. It is about the only time that he will sit with me and cuddle. I love it!!!! It usually is not long before he is back to his wild and curious antics, but I do cherish those moments of stillness with him :)

Blizzard warnings in Hawaii!!!???

The other day we had blizzard warnings for the top of Mauna Kea. We had atleast 9 straight hours of rain, which is very abnormal for our area that tends to be dry. The clouds finally cleared from the top of the mountain today and I was able to catch a picture. Some of the snow had already started to melt, but BOY was there a lot up there!!!
