Christmas Countdown with the Crowders

The Crowders moved in the day after Zach flew home to Seattle. The kids hit it off immediately and so did the sister-wives. We started off our Christmas countdown by picking out a tree together! A fun Norfolk Pine with some lights and homemade ornaments started off the season right.  We made sugar cookies, went on the PCC Christmas boat, had a few Christmas parties and even had our own Nativity on Christmas Eve.  It was a very merry Christmas.

Pau Hana on the Big Island

We got the chance to fly over to the Big Island for a special treat.  HPM's December Pau Hana.  That meant a few nights in a hotel, Coconut Island park (where EVERYONE seemed to need to take a leak!), rain, some exploring Hilo, party at the Fujimotos--almost crashing the kids 4-wheelers, rain, checking out the volcano, rain, and even a family game of tag on a local playground.  We had a great time because we were together.

Tyce is FIVE!

I can hardly believe that my little ball of energy is turning 5! He requested a skate birthday so we made it happen with a skate ramp cake---with him on it! Tyce was pumped that the Crowder's made it over in time to celebrate with us. The kiddos were in charge of the games--Pin the Wheels on the skateboard started it off. He was a happy boy.

Still filled with snuggles and cuddles, Tyce is a big lover. Life is a party with him around and his smile is contagious. I adore this singing and dancing fool. We are so lucky to have him in our family. NEVER a dull moment with Tyce!
