it seems like it was so long ago but it’s only been 2 weeks. lights, elf hats, rock band, christmas cheer, gift giving, magical wizard wands, remote controls, great food and fun times – all such great memories of a wonderful holiday season filled with friends, family and the beautiful spirit of christmas.

i am finally getting through the hundreds of images that i took this past spring on our trip to hawaii. one of our days was spent at the maui ocean center. emily was fascinated with the turtles. i wanted to share a few of my favorites from the day. i love that i captured her reflection on the turtle tank.
i LOVE this last one! i swear the manta ray was posing just for me!
Chris Ohta: Gorgeous photos!!! That last one is amazing. There is so much depth and evokes such a dreamy feel. I can see it as a poster for the Maui Ocean Center...
Sarah: That last one is great Kath - he is smiling at you and waving too I think. Glad the Can for Comments was a success - evry bit helps this time of year!

and what’s a post without a picture? they were thrilled to indulge me tonight… can’t you tell?
kim: I love that you have 44 already! Your blog is amazing by the way;)
donnam13: i had to leave a comment not only for another can of food but because this photo is priceless.. love the dimples :) and the girl looks pretty happy too
Sarah: 44 is my favorite number!
Danielle: Poor kids - looks like they are good sports!
catherine: thanks for your inspriation to be generous especially at this time of year Kathy. we all have so much to be grateful for but that's easier to say sometimes when we have our basic needs met. thanks for your contribution to community through your food bank catherine and jim
Shannon Stevenson: Emily= looking so grown up! Tyler= looking so not impressed hehe...love them!
i’ve decide to begin a new series here on my blog called one of my favorite things, where i will share with you – yes, you guessed it – some of my favorite things in life. it may be about a favorite recipe that i’d like to share with you, it may be about someone who inspires me or it may just be about a book i’m reading at the time. who knows?? you’ll just have to keep tuning in to find out what it’s going to be about.
so, for the inaugural one of my favorite things post, i would like to tell you about one of my most favorite things in the world right now. it’s a birthday gift that i received back in october from derek and the kids – a pandora charm bracelet. have you ever seen one?
they originated in denmark and they aren’t anything at all like the old type of charm bracelet – which i don’t have. the charms on this bracelet screw onto the bracelet rope. it’s so cool. it allows you to add to or change the bracelet whenever you’d like. the number of different charm combinations is infinite! it could be a different charm bracelet every day!
these are a few of the charms on my wish list for christmas. aren’t the glass beads gorgeous!! i sure hope santa sees my wish list! ;)
keep leaving those comments! one can is being donated to my local food bank for every one.
kathyp: hey sarah - it looks like you're actually singing the song that's in the movie! :)
Sarah: That was a fun time I had singing "that Christmas song" - wink, wink! I love the orange hat and glasses pics - we did that at our Christmas dinner too - everyone wore those big nose glasses!
