Christmas Day

So on Christmas morning Hadley was at her dad's house so we had to wait until 3 p.m. to be able to open presents with Hadley. It sucked so bad not having Hadley but we still had an amazing Christmas! We were able to open presents with Mark's family and then my family and then we were able to do our own Christmas with Hadley. She was so spoiled and as usual I went overboard.
Hadley in her cute Christmas dress...

Landon had to help her with opening Hadley's gifts.
Mark got me a basket for the front of my bike.
Hadley looking into her stacking.
All that Hadley wanted was her Littlest Pet Shop Veterinarian Hospital and she ran to it.
Crewe loves Hadley!!!
My cute sisters........
When we went to Disneyland my mom and I bought Hadley a Princess Tiana dress and all that Hadley could say was that she wanted to the gloves and purse that go with it so my mom had to get it for her for Christmas of course.
My cute zebra bag from my mom and dad.
I love my husband!
My parents got Hadley the set of princess barbies that came with 7 of the Disney Princesses and she was in heaven. Did I mention that she is spoiled!




Santa Visit

We went on the 23rd of Dec down to the Riverwoods mall to have dinner and to see Santa. It is kind of cool how they have changed the parking area there into a walking area, it makes it kind of nice. We ate at the new pizza place down there which was pretty good and then all of the kids got to sit on Santa.

Hawaii

So APX took us to Maui from the 13th of Dec to the 20th of Dec and we stayed at the Grand Wailea resort on the West side of Maui and it was amazing! APX chartered a plane out to Hawaii for everyone. They provided breakfast and lunch for us everyday (lunch was out of a cabana by the pool everyday) and then they took us to Duo's on Tuesday night for dinner and Nick's Fish House for dinner on Wednesday. They also took us to a magic show on Friday night in Lahaina which was very entertaining and very funny at the same time. While we were there we went snorkeling several times, whale watching, the Road to Hanna, Mark went diving and just hung out and enjoyed the island. What a great trip and APX is an amazing company! Thank you so much APX!!!

Last time I went to Hawaii I never received a Lei but this time once we pulled into the resort they were waiting for us with the Lei's and I was so excited!
