Coldest Morning in Hawaii Yet!

It was 62.2* in E's room this morning!! And her room is upstairs and she had her window closed. I was a frozen icicle with my open window when I woke up! So we all wore jeans and hoodies this morning, trying not to be too cold. LOL!!!

Today I mailed my Christmas packages to the mainland... so Mom, Dad and Di, be on the lookout. They went priority mail, so if you don't see them by December 22 or so... let me know! OH, and Dad & Sylvia? Please let Grandma know that all 3 of her Christmas cards arrived here on December 13th (Tuesday)! She asked to know when they arrived. Oh, and also tell her I finally took E to get her school portrait taken, and we get to go pick up the whole package on December 20th... so her prints will be along shortly after Christmas.

Today was the kids last day of school until January 11th! No more getting up early for what seems like a long time. It's Winter Break for them, on this year-round school calendar.

Here are a few more pictures... the first two taken the afternoon that C left.

Here's N playing with Kane:

And lastly... my latest cross stitch project. It's a Mirabilia pattern called "Fairy Flora". It has a lot of beads on it... I don't think they come across that well in the picture, but they make it look very sparkly and 3-D.
