Erik & Kalia watching Santa at the tree lighting at the Ritz
Looking at the stars at the Ritz tree lighting.

Picking out a tree.Last wednesday we went to pick out our Christmas tree. I was finally feeling better and more in the mood. So on went the Christmas music and we just went to Star Market to get a tree. Kalia was having a lot of fun looking at the trees. She is also having a lot of fun listening to the Christmas music, she still loves "All I want for Christmas is you.." by Mariah Carey from her Christmas DVD last year. She asks to listen to it over and over again and is starting to sing all of the words.
We have been decorating the tree in stages. Wednesday we just put the tree up, Kalia is my water monitor and told me the next day when the "tree drank up all the water". Wednesday night we went to the tree lighting at the Ritz. Kalia's favorite part besides wrestling Erik on our blanket, was watching the keiki hula dancers. Santa and his elves arrived via parachute out of a helicopter, it was pretty extreme. So far Kalia loves to look at Santa, but I don't think we'll be getting a Santa photo this year. Today she wrote him a letter (drew him a picture?) and wrapped up her fork in her napkin as a present to Santa.
Today I told Kalia that the night before Christmas, we will leave milk and cookies out for Santa to eat and she looked at me and thought for a moment and said, "that is a good idea mommy." How do I come up with these ideas?
On Saturday there was the Lahaina Banyan Tree tree lighting. They had snow to play in, a snowman and crafts. Kalia's favorite part was putting beads on pipe cleaners to make this really cute Christmas tree. We skipped the actual lighting and went to Leilani's for dinner with daddy. It was so slow that we sat at the bar and had dinner while Erik worked, but he was with us the whole time. She's getting really good at sitting at the bar stool, kinda scary. I was thinking that there might not be too many more times like that just having our Kalia and mommy night hanging out. Santa was next to Leilani's and we did go and look at him. They also had music and hula dancers in the shops and we stayed and watched them for a while because Kalia said she didn't want to go home, she wanted to "hang out".
Many more photos to come, but it's late.
