Hauges in Hawaii

Mom and Dad generously took our entire family to Kauai for Christmas this year - an early 50th Anniversary present!  Everything about the trip was incredible ... I will let the pictures speak for themselves.  Aloha!

Santa came early!

We had to ask Santa to come early this year since we were traveling to Hawaii for Christmas - he delivered!  Thanks Santa!  ;)

First things first - building our new airplane Lego set that Santa brought

Opening presents!

Paper is the best present!

 Owen loves Isaac's old "So Big" book

Legos, Legos and more Legos - yay!

Driving monster trucks around the living room

Riensche Christmas

We hosted Riensche Christmas again this year - also known as "fake Christmas"

It is hard to be patient ("is it my turn yet?....")

Owen loves Grandpa Bob

Getting excited for Christmas!  Isaac helped Nate with the lights

 Looks good!  Modest by some standards...

Our new (fake) Christmas tree - it is SO bright!

Isaac loved it.  He routinely requested that we get dressed in front of the tree each morning.

He also loved hanging and re-hanging ornaments.
