This year for Christmas we split our time between families. We spent the week before Christmas (including Christmas Day) with John's family up in Santa Rosa and then flew to Hawaii with my family for the week after Christmas. We had fun all around. Since I am a horrible 'snapper' and fail to take pictures everywhere, I bummed a few from my mom from our Hawaii trip. It was a blast...kayaking, rope swings, ocean, LOTS and LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of sand (Brady proved this to me quite early on)...what else could you ask for? Thanks mom and dad for a fun trip!!!
Brady appears to be training for the Olympics...he will be entering the discus throwing event. 
This rope swing doesn't appear very impressive, but the top of the rope swing was hanging from a tree about 60ft-70ft. from the water. It was pretty intense and so much fun!!!
My sister and I teamed up to kayak down the river. (John was such a sweet heart and let me go while he stayed back with Brady...He's the man) It started out pretty rough as we couldn't get the hang of going straight and were literally zigzagging across the river while the rest of our family was WAY ahead, but eventually we mastered the paddles and flew past the rest of them (well...sort of, at least that's how I'm going to make the record).
New Years Eve...we stayed up to a whopping 9:00pm and man do we look tired! Woohoo, party animals!!!
