Chirstmas at 80 degrees...

For us it's off to Hawaii for Christmas this year. We managed to get decent airfare (albeit a rather strange routing from Sacramento to San Francisco and on to Honolulu). We arrived last Tuesday and promptly traded our cold weather clothes for shorts t-shirts and rubber slippers. We have stayed very busy visiting with friends and family over the last few days. Lots of good company and good food.

Everyone looking at the camera with eyes open, it's a Christmas miracle. :)
