christmasery.

Mmmmhhmmm. It's a word. I just decided it is. Here are a few glimpses into our general Christmasery.
The "Living Nativity" was good fun - as most programs involving children in Bible costumes usually are. Click here to see a few photos from the fun.

Chloe's christmas dress turned out pretty darn cute...




We also took a trip to see the Honolulu City Lights. And let me tell you, other than the crowds, it was FAB!! We loved the displays, and I think our favorite part was when we promised the boys we could ride a trolley, but neglected to do our research....finding out only after we were there that they were by RESERVATION ONLY. As in, "no, children, you can't get on that trolley. Even though it's empty." Thankfully, my kids never EVER whine or fuss or throw a fit. Especially NEVER in the middle of a crowded street, full of cheerful Christmasery families. And they NEVER spontaneously burst into tears when they see a full trolley of happy families drive by shouting "MERRRRY CHRISTMAS!" You can imagine how fun the walk back to the car was. Yeah. Some photos, anyhow.







We planned on heading into Waikiki to have some dinner, and see all the pretty lights there. But um, remember how my parents have that VW van? With racks on top? It doesn't fit into any parking garages. Like, at ALL. So somehow, we ended up celebrating the Honolulu lights at.....BURGER KING. Yeah. Luckily, the kids really liked their sponge bob crowns. So, you know. That was fun.

Well, it was fun. It was new, and different, and ohhhhhh, so warm. And it may just be our new holiday tradition. But next time, I think we might try to get a reservation on one of those trolleys.
