Hawaii!
So since we didn’t make it out to the Island for Christmas, we decided to meet up with my family on another island. We rented the three bedroom top floor of a vacation house in Kona and spent a week relaxing in the sun in Hawaii. Most of us had never been to Hawaii before, […]

Christmas!
While usually we spend Christmas on the Island or in Langley, a number of factors had us staying in Edmonton this year, and Guy and Shirley came and joined us!
