I had to add this now!!! Then and now pics of the kids : ) First in Alaska...now in Hawaii!!!




The Pride of America...no, not Connor...he was wild and on fire! That's the name of the boat we were on!


the Murray's and the Boyd's...



family pics...Courtney took ours...and then we took theirs...the Boyd's got Connor to smile bc he was terrible about pics on this trip...

he has some new crazy fake smiles that are really bad...or just a grumpy face and doesn't want any pics! So we're very happy with these! Thanks Courtney!





A Christmas hula show...Connor and I dancing when no one else would...and then me, Kim and Connor doing a hula dance...the Hukilau!

and Connor and Morgan being silly : ) Then everyone joining hands to sing Aloha
'Oe!







Dinner in the window...he'd take a bite...then sit in the window...ok...last night on the boat and we're kinda burnt out on cruise food after 7 days!


After doing this cruise...I would love to do the Alaskan cruise...I can only imagine the views! So glad we did this vacation!




after leaving Kauai...I think the ship passes Niihau...called the forbidden island...it is private and only about 250 people live there...

the language spoken is primarily Hawaiian...





This one made me laugh...the boat is leaving Kauai...but Connor didn't notice bc he was too busy w Megatron & Bumblebee!

Video clip from Christmas morning...

playing....trying to go to breakfast but Connor was too excited to leave his toys to eat!





Connor was pretty happy with Santa...he asked for Megatron...and he got Megatron plus Bumblebee and a few others!


Video from Christmas morning...the balcony was so worth having! A very special Christmas morning on the cruise ship!

And Connor in his PJ's and I in my cap...had just settled down for a Hawaiian winter's nap!

last pic before bedtime on Christmas Eve!

Twas the night before Christmas on our cruise ship...we set up the balcony for Santa's quick trip!





Connor with Santa...the cruise director and elves were blocking parents from getting pics bc they were having the cruise photog take pics

for $14.99 a pop...so I got a quick pic after the video clip...good enough I say!

Connor...only kid on stage, all other kids were shuffled off stage to watch the Santa video...but Connor went back to the cruise director to ask a

question I presume...and so he stood with the cruise director, Sylis, and watched until Santa came into the theater!!!

Connor was still on stage lingering...he stood by the cruise director which was so funny...waiting for Santa...and then when Santa came up he didn't

know what to do! He was nervous with his fingers in his mouth...and then they talked him into standing in line...but he worked his way to the front of the line and was first!

Santa visits our cruise ship...kind of a long clip but it was cute...

Twas the Night before Christmas...read by the Captain of the cruise ship...there were only girls on stage...so Connor ran up to represent the boys!!!



Getting ready for church on Christmas Eve...Kim found a really nice little church in Kauai...we had to leave early to get the rental cars back in time
