Christmas Day in Hawaii was quit a surreal experience. I think this was our first Christmas morning at a hotel. The girls were a little scared that Santa might not be able to find us out in Hawaii!

On the way to the hotel Christmas Eve, we stopped off at a black sands beach. Hawaiian beaches are amazing and they have quit the assortment from white, black, red, and even a green beach (which we did not have a chance to visit).

I'll admit, this might be one of the coolest things I've been able to work out. Took me a lot of phone calls and a lot of planning, but I was able to arrange for a Christmas tree to be in our hotel room prior to arrival. Being surrounded by females for a long length of time can be very interesting. When all the females in your family spent the first 8 days complaining about this "not feeling like Christmas," well let's just say the look on their faces was worth it! Yea....I know....I'm the man :-)
