Way back in mid November, Dad and I made a spur of the moment purchase of a live tree!
Clearly we weren't excited!!!!! :)
That's also about the time that all the Christmas decor was going up around town….Also, Santa had already arrived at Ala Moana with NO line!
The tree had modest beginnings…but was green and beautiful! And still smells SO GOOD!
Here we are waiting for the local community holiday parade. The marchers lined up in the park behind our house….and yes, it was fabulous to here the marching bands' Christmas songs bright and early!
The tree was finally put together and is quite cute!
One night, our elf, Mario, added to the tree trimmings!
He was also very excited about St. Nick's Day.
We spent one afternoon in Waikiki checking out the Christmas decor in all the hotel lobbies.
The sand sculpture is always a favorite...
as is the gingerbread village!
The boys do such a good job appeasing me and posing in front of EVERY tree in town. :)
That night we even managed to make it to the Holiday Light parade in town.
The excitement was building as we waited or the lights to come on and the parade to begin!
Holiday memories….the BEST!
