      This Christmas was a lot of fun.  Will and I surprised the kids with a special gift.  We wrapped up individual gifts of sleeping eye masks, Hawaiian necklaces, Aloha shirts for the boys and a Moana costume for Hannah.  We really enjoyed watching the Bigs put all the pieces together and determine that we were going to take a plane trip to Hawaii.  Connor was the first to guess correctly.  They couldn't wait to try on their Hawaiian clothes.  Hannah even did a special dance in her Moana costume.  Santa delivered some cool gifts on Christmas morning, too.  We made a special breakfast to celebrate the birth of Jesus.  It was homemade blueberry biscuits with a powdered sugar glaze.  We read from Luke 2, put a candle in one of the biscuits, and sang Happy Birthday, Jesus.
