What a strange but absolutely wonderful Holiday season it's turning out to be. It is quite a bit cooler than it was when we first arrived to the Islands, but nevertheless most days are beautiful and sunny . . .not a single snowflake to be seen.
In spite of the curious weather we are still keeping the Christmas spirit alive as you can see from the pictures above. We are grateful for the love we've felt from our families and friends back on the mainland. It makes the distance not seem too great.
