Tis the Season!!!

I can't even begin to express how excited Ray and I are for Christmas!! It's so fun knowing we're creating memories that will last a lifetime for Noelani just like our parents did for us!!

We took Noelani for her first pictures with Santa today and they turned out fabulous!! She didn't even shed a tear when she sat on his lap...I suppose that will come next year. I'm not sure if Ray and I had more fun than she did but either way we'll remember it forever!

We bought Noelani a Step & Play Piano for Christmas but I caved and we've given it to her early...this is the only year she won't know a difference between today and Christmas Day so I figured it wouldn't be a big deal. She loves her piano and is so proud of herself when she pounds on it makes music!!


On Thursday we're heading down to Bend, OR to visit Ray's parents and surprise Papa for his Birthday which is on Saturday.

Speaking of Grandparents...Noelani and I have been counting the days down on the calendar and it's 1 week until Papa and Grandma come home for the holidays from Arizona!!! I'd say time has flown but it hasn't...we can't wait to see them!

We also just found out today that Grandma and Grandpa Rentas are coming up from Arizona in January so Noelani is looking forward to spending some time getting to know them. With all these Grandparents this little girl is undoubtedly the most loved little girl I've ever seen!! How lucky she is to have so many Grandparents that love her so much!!! Now we just need to get Uncle Kevin up here so she can meet him too!!
